Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father and the frustration that your sister appears to be causing you. If your sister has not offered the Will for probate, you will likely need to file a request to have the probate court compel her to produce the Will so that you can offer it for probate yourself. You may also need to request that you be appointed as the Administrator with Will Annexed, if your sister is the appointed Executor but refuses to take on the job. If your sister has actually had the Will admitted to probate but is refusing to follow it, then you will likely need to file a request to have the probate court make her provide an accounting and explain why the estate administration has not been completed properly. You may also need to try to have the probate court remove and replace her as the Executor altogether. Both of these options involve possible litigation. Find an attorney who is experienced with probate and estate litigation, get a consultation, and have the attorney review the situation and advise you on your next best options. Best wishes to you.
