Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Re: Will

Unless you're name is on the account or you're a signer or something on the account, I would say there isn't a great deal you can do regarding the history of the account short of asking whoever is currently in charge (mostly likely the estate) to just tell you.

If the will has been probated and an inventory has been filed you can order a copy of the inventory and it might give you a rough idea of the status of the account. Keep in touch with the attorney handling the case. While he/she is probably very busy and might not be able to answer all your questions since he's representing the estate, most attorneys understand the nature of probate and that you're waiting and it's hard and will try to help you the best they can.

If you are truly concerned about mishandling of the estate or breach of fiduciary duty in regards to the account then you COULD get a lawyer and delve deeper into that. My advice would be to hold off though and explore other options and to the best of your ability, be patient. Good luck, hope that helps.
