If the will is being probated, go to the courthouse and make a copy of the whole file.

What i am worried about is not getting what i am entitled to in the will, because my uncle is a jerk and doesnt care. I am entitled to a certain amount of money and he said he is waiting for her house to sell, and im not sure if this is true? - confused

Then hire a lawyer in Ohio to start probate and subpoena the bad guy and the will into court (unless probate has already been started).

Do two things:

1. Get a copy of the entire file from the courthouse

and

B. Get a lawyer in Ohio if it's worth it to you.

At this point you may not need an attorney since the estate seems to be currently in probate. Cincinnati is located in both Hamilton County and Clermont County, so if you need the address and phone numbers for those courthouses, let me know by responding here and I can find the contact information for you.

All you need to do right now is get a copy of the will and the other papers that show what has been done with probate so far, but at some point in the future if you have questions about what has occurred you may want to consult an attorney.
