What to do if my sister is executrix of my mothers Will but has not all has been distributed as per the Will equally 1/3 among the 3 children?

I have asked my sister about distributing my mothers CDs as per the Will as it was written. She insists my mother wanted her to have it or them (I knew of 3) she says one. The Will specifically says everything gets distributed 3 ways, the will was never probated (honestly didn’t know I had to do that) I have been fighting this with my sister for several years is there anything I can still do> Is there any way I can find out if there were other holdings that my sister did not disclose (she is the only one who had all my mother’s financial an important papers).

I am so sorry about the situation.  I would speak with an attorney in your are as soon as you can.  Are you sure that the Wll was never probated becuase how would your sister get a hold of the CD's?  Unless she was listed as the joint owner then you will have a harder time here with all of this.  You could still probate the Will and be appointed as the executor of the estate. That would give you real power to inquire.  Good luck.
