Re: changed attorney

You give conflicting facts in your questions. You state that brother-in-law is not the executor, but then state that you don't know who the executor is. My advice would be to go to Mother's attorney and advise him/her of the death. The attorney, assuming that he drafted the Will, can then contact the executor regarding estate administration.
