I was hoping to avoid a long story. The will was written in the 70's by my then husband. He made two of my brothers executors. Since that time there has been a major split in the family and one of those brothers has turned out to be borderline antisocial personality disorder (a functioning psychopath). He would do everything he can to cause problems (delays, trumped up expenses, cause further division in the family etc). We are all hoping the other executor can do the job without the former having to be informed since we haven't had contact with him for decades.
I have since discovered that the will may now be null and void because we divorced in the late 80's. I hope this is true. I want nothing out of this except that our offspring get an even share each.
