Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

executor responsibilities

My father was the executor of my mother's will. He did not give me the jewelry she left me in her will. He gave it to my niece. After he dies, can I sue the estate for the amount of the property? I do not want to cause a family war while he is alive and risk being disinherited altogether.

Re: executor responsibilities

No. To recover the jewelry, you have to sue within the limitations period. Why not just talk to your father?
