Re: How to find out about a will
The will is public data after it's entered into probate. Go to the probate court in the county where she lived, and ask to see the file. Copying the will should cost you $1.00 per page.
You'll need a lawyer to go after the stepfather if he's played fast and loose with their trust funds.
