My husband's father passed away July 6, 2000 in North Carolina. We live in Washington state. My husband was told by family members that he was a beneficiary in his father's will, yet we have not received a copy of the will or any other documents to date. We were told that there was a waiting period of 90 days from the death of his father, before any action would be taken.
It is now almost 120 days.
We have heard that the will is being contested by his father's grown stepchildren from a previous marriage.
How can they contest the will, without seeing the will? Or maybe they have the will, and we have not.
Is there a time frame that the will must be read or copied to the beneficiaries?
Who is responsible for doing this?
Must we request a copy of the will ourselves?
If so how do we do that?
The executor of his father's will is his wife. Should we contact her?
