Question

As a beneficiary of my late father's will, I am one of six children supposedly sharing equally from the assets. Do I have a legal right to see what the other children were getting or got?

Thanks,

Answer

Yes, you do. The individual(s) administering the estate must provide you with an inventory and accounting of all estate assets, and eventually a proposed plan of distrubution which will provide "who's getting what" remaining in the estate. You have an opportunity to accept or challenge such proposal, but must do so within a specified period of time.
