[Trust but Verify]

I don't think that is the case, but we won't know until we get copies of bank statements, etc. I would think the banks would have to cooperate with us given our legal standing vs. Auntie Dearest.

[William Terrell]

The banks and anybody else will cooperate. From what I understand having been the executor of my late mother's estate, within the law, the executor (or executrix) is god when it comes to the estate.

Mos liberals, like aunt here, need a terrible spanking, so that the pain may draw excess blood away from the brain and allow them to return their focus on reality. The spanking can be physical or legal. The latter is worse.

As executor you not only have the legal right to those documents, you have the legal obligation to follow through with her lawful will instructions regardless of what the Aunt did.
