My sister took my mom to the lawyer and had my name as executor removed and replaced it with hers. My mom was in the nursing home for less than a year. I didn’t receive a copy of the will, money, or assets.

In the circumstances which you describe, this could be very difficult. Please also note that the cost of a Will contest could easily exceed what you would receive even if you won.
