Have you been appointed by the Surrogate's Court as the executor or administrator of your mother's estate? If you have not, you must take steps to do so. The attorney might be breaching the attorney-client privilege if he were to reveal confidential information about the action to someone other than the official representative of the estate. However, there is a great deal of information which can be found on court's websites.
