Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My dad passed away in October 2010. He left a will that made both my sister and I executors. My sister has since taken over administration of the estate and refuses to provide details of the estate. Do I have any legal recourse to force her to provide a full accounting of our father's estate? I am to receive half of his estate per the will, although her name was on his bank account and she has been recieving the proceeds from his investments. There is also property in North Carolina that is in question. What steps should I take ?

Yes, you may have legal recourse, but there is just too much information missing to determine exactly what that is.

As an example, if you were named co-executors (PR's), why weren't you appointed? Did you get a Notice of Administration? What has the PR done? What documents have you received?

You need to meet with a Probate Attorney with everything you have to review it properly. You need someone to represent your interest. You won't be able to do it on your own because it is too complicated to expect you to know what to do.
