I am so sorry for your loss but I am confused a bit about your question here.   When you say that the Will does not provide any "information" do you mean the specifics of where they are located?  There would be statements issued on accounts that are in the name of the decedent.  I would take a look at the probate file (it is a public record) and see what it says about the estate assets.  Then speak with a lawyer.  Good luck.
