More details to this question:
My father died in 2002, I was always close to him. I had been living with him at that time. But when he died my sister took over and told me that he had next to nothing and I recently finally got a hold of the will and she lied and stole what he left to me. I'm named as a beneficiary and it was to be equal shares. How do I find out how much was paid to her in his assets and life insurance?

A Will has no legal effect until it is admitted to probate. If the Will has not been submitted to a court for probate, seek the assistance of a local probate lawyer. Then ask the court to issue a turnover order, ordering your sister to turn everything over so that it can the assets can be assembled, the debts paid and the remainder distributed according to the Will. Note that life insurance only passes under the Will if there is no named beneficiary.
