My father passed a few months ago.

We were estranged for about two years but before that he mentioned I will probably inherit his house and that my brother and I should "haul ass over here to get the cash from the safe before the tax man" after he passes.

He would buy a new vehicle with cash every couple of years so I'm assuming there was over 50k in there. The house is worth about 400k and there were various stocks of unknown value.

My brother was much tighter with the old man and is the executor of the will.

We were cleaning up the house and I noticed the safe was ripped off of the mounting bolts which my brother says was the only way to remove it since he couldn't get it open. His relatively new truck has been sold, value probably 50k.

Since my brother hasn't offered to share anything with me, I asked him if the will had been changed and he got immediately defensive and said " I don't have to show you anything " but offered to show me the executor document which of course would show everything in his name, I would assume.

Is it possible that he has bypassed the instructions of the will and is keeping everything for himself? There is a chance that I was written out due to our estrangement but it feels fishy that he won't show it to me.
