Normally, when there is property to inherit, the executor files the will and an estate is opened. this is called probate. The will is on file with the county register of wills and you can look at the file. If the executor here is not filing the will, nor letting you see it, and, you think A) there is a will and B) you stand to inherit pursuant to it, your only remedy is to go to court. You will need to hire an attorney to file a petition to produce will.
