My mother has been gone for a while, before she passed my sister and I got along fine. I am just finding out my mom did have a will my sister has it. How do I get a copy of it because she won't let me see it? My mom had a house it sold for $99 almost $100. I didn't see any of that money.

Statute requires that a Will must be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the decedent lived at the time of death. It the decedent owed real estate at the time of death the real estate should be sold through a probate proceeding. You should see an attorney that can examine the record and review your options to assert your rights.
