If you are named as a beneficiary in the will or trust, you certainly are entitled to see it. If your sister is, indeed, named to act as the personal representative of the trust or estate, she must notify you of any action she takes. Nevada law specifies that a will must be filed with the county where you father lived within 30 days of his death. It may or may not be necessary to retain an attorney, depending on the size of the estate, but if it is a trust, a lawyer is less likely to be needed to properly disburse the properties owned by it.
