My mother is the executor of my grandmother's estate and will not show me the will. I believe I was mentioned in the will and I would like to know my rights to view it.

Re: Wills
All wills should be published with the probate court in the jurisdiction the deceased executed it or wherever their estate is relevant. Once a will is published with the probate court it becomes a part of public record. Therefore, anyone may be able to view the will.
