My grandfather passed over 4 years ago. My aunt is executor of the will and has not done anything. She wont give us a copy of the will. How can we move forward?
A Will becomes a public document once it is submitted for probate. Check with the local probate court for a copy.
Most states require an executor to give the beneficiaries an accounting after a certain amount of time has passed and allow an executor to be replaced if, after more time, there is no distribution. Contact a local probate attorney.
