Re: wills
If your mother is still alive then the attorney cannot show you her will unless they have her permission.

Re: wills
no, not unless she has passed away and one of you is the nominated executor / executrix; the other next of kin and those named in the will are typically served a copy of the will during the probate process as a courtesy. Once the will has bee probated, it is then public records and anyone can see it in the probate court file.
