What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania We have a real problem and I'm not sure what our rights are. My wife's father just died a couple of weeks ago, and her sisters and her mother are not telling her what his will stipulates. She and I are quite certain that he left her something(monetary), and they're not even telling us who the executor is. My question is can we hire an attorney to look into this for us. Does she have the right to see his will. What concerns us the most is that her sisters are trying to somehow "rework" his will to cut her out. Her one sister said that if we press for answers we "wouldn't see a thing". Please help. Again my main question is does she have a legal right to know who the executor is and to view his will?
