If the Will has been entered into probate, then it is now a matter of public record so you, or anyone else, has the right to see it. Additionally, as a child you are what is known as an "interested party", which means that you have the right to see the Will whether or not it has been entered for probate. At this point you can contact the probate court in the county in which your mother was domiciled and/or you can contact a local employment law attorney to enforce your rights.
