Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Much depends on the terms and conditions of your mother's will. If the will gives your sister absolute discretion regarding how to divide the estate, it may be difficult to challenge her division of the assets. But even if that is the case, her discretion is governed by an overall fiduciary duty. This requires her to exercise her authority as executrix on behalf of all beneficiaries of the estate and not just to benefit herself.
