It is impossible to list all the "rights" of a co-executor in this limited forum. In Missouri, the person(s) that handle a decedent's probate estate are called Personal Representatives. If two are appointed in a will, then their relative responsiblities to each other can also be somewhat described in the same document. Absent that, they are each individually and severably responsible for the assets of the estate. Therefore, they each at least each have the right to examine all the relevant documents and recieve notice of any changes in the status of any assets or claims against the estate.
Good luck
