More details to this question:
My oldest sister is the executor of the estate. My mother entrusted her to divide everything amongst all of her children (she has 5), but my aunt hasn''t done anything. She has not allowed us to see the death certificate, a copy of the will, life insurance policies- nothing. Is there anything that we can do to fight this.

The residuary clause in your Mother's will would be controlling on this issue. The reason for a residuary clause in a will is to convey property that is not otherwise disposed of by will, particularly property acquired by the testator after executing her will. Therefore, the residue of an estate can fluctuate.
