get a copy of the court file..it is open..but will cost a few bucks...and hire a lawyer
IF the court issued your sister in law a check, the probate was probably dependent upon court approval of everything. All the documentation you need is public record in the court file. If, however, you are mistaken about the court issuing the check, then 15 months after the probate, you can compel the executor/executrix to deliver an accounting and distribute the assets. Contact a local probate lawyer.
