Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

In the Codicil of my late mother's will, she specified that my paintings were not a part of the will. The estate attorney met me at the house in Indianapolis. The will itself states that she wanted to use a lottery system with all 4 heirs, to distribute her property. My sibs want to liquidate everything, and ignore my mother's wishes. I was the only heir to object. I told the attorney that I wished my mother's wishes to be respected. This attorney would not allow me to take my own paintings, or belongings unless I signed to disregard the lottery. Please note. These items were not a part of the estate . I signed, as I had no choice. There were many missing items in the house...silver, china and multiple other items taken by my sisters and brothers. Did this attorney act properly? I feel like I have been blackmailed.
