Yes, you are entitled to a copy of the Will. When did you sister pass? If it was several years ago and no probate was started you can request the executor be passed over and you be granted the right to probate the will by Letters of Administration with Will annexed.
You must officially request the executor to provide a copy of the Will for the process to begin. Who is occupying the property? If you have anyone occupying your property without your consent or paying you a rent you can lose your property?
