After someone dies, are the heirs entitled to a copy of the will? Is the executor supposed to give a quarterly statement to heirs as to what is going on with the estate?

Heirs should be given a copy of the will and regular accountings from the personal representative.

Re: wills

Once probate has been opened, the will is on file in the county clerk's office where the probate was filed. You can get a copy from the clerk, if the personal representative won't provide one. Also, you have a right to ask the court to order an accounting, although in the PR is still inventorying the estate, he probably will not have one ready yet.
