Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Iowa

will

my uncle in retirement home 85 yrs old. had a will leaving his bank account to his siblings, never was married, if they are deceased goes to their living children. My sister took the will from my mothers papers when she died ,my mother was then exector of his will.she is now saying my uncle made her co-owner of his bank account and that it is all hers. My uncle will not answer to any of us on this as he in in ill health and he is the type of person that thinks everything goes as it is supposed to be. She will not show me a copy of whatever proof that she has control of his account . We have called the attorneys where this will was filed and they can't find any record of the will. It was filed back in the 60's.My sister & I were executors of my mothers will, but I never got to see my uncles will because she took it. Someway or another she

has gotten my uncle to let her takecare of his papers. My question

is if we can't find a copy of the will can we force her in anyway to show proof of her rights to take care of his account?

Re: will

I suggest you resubmit your question to under the heading of "wills and trusts" or "estate law" as your question does not involve "intellectual property."
