Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

inherited property

My mother-in-law's will states that all she has is to be split between my husband and his sister. My husband never received a copy of the will he just read it - I called the attorney and ask for a copy of the will but he gave us the runaround.

Also his sister was power of attorney before his mother died

and it seems to us she is still be treated as if she is. I thought power of attorney was null and void upon death. It this is true?

Why wouldn't my husband be entitled to a copy of the will? It wasn't probated.

Thank you
