Send a copy of the Will to a Massachusetts attorney whom you and/or your sister should retain to determine if action needs to be taken for violation of the terms of the Will. Good Luck

Could be a breach of fiduciary duty if the wife was the executrix. That means you would have to sue your step-mother(?). Good Luck
