How do you know the executor is being honest about a safe security box?
My step mother is executor of the will. The will does not mention the box and her name is not associated with it, although she is on his other bank accounts. My Father years ago told me he wishes me to have the contents (about 12-15k of various items) that we visited together so he could show me its contents. I mentioned this to her and she said, “well there’s only about 2k in cash in there.”I replied, no there’s gold, jewelry and various collectible coins. She didn’t say anything to reply and the conversation quickly changed to other things.
I am out of state and she is in Tennesse. There are only her, myself and my brother as beneficiaries. Most of the assets are divided equally, though my brother and I maybe have 25% more if you add everything up. I believe she thinks this unfair and has asked multiple times to sell real estate and divide it up with her. which would then give her about 30% more than my brother and I. He left her a house, 2 cars (worth 50k as one is new) and some cash in the bank.
I guess my question is how can I insure the contents of the box are properly accounted for? Thanks!
