Once a will is admitted to probate, it can not be altered or changed. Your cousin is wrong and obviously trying to upset you. As a named beneficary in the will you have authority to check with the attorney who is handeling the probate proceeding. He is earning a fee for the probate and should be willing to take all calls relating to the estate. To finalize the estate he will eventually have to notify you of the wrapup since he will be disposng of he assets. Your cousin is obviously trying to keep you in the dark. I would be careful of her.
