What to do if I’m a beneficiary of a Will and the probate closed but I’ve uncovered a receipt of funds that the executrix didn’t report?
She sold a majority of the assets we were to share. Is that a misappropriation of funds. She and the the estate attorney had nonintervention power granted to them. I can’t afford an attorney so I had no way to report or argue anything? Clear and the other low income resources couldn’t help because I reside in another state. The executrix is also holding the property that we were to share and share alike under lock and key so I have no access to it. Again I can’t afford an attorney. Should I just report this to the state bar association?

You are advised to look into filing a criminal complaint with the District Attorney for the county of where the person died for embezzlement of estate funds, and to file a complaint with the state licensing board where the attorney is licensed, if what you are saying is true. You may have to come to the state and county wjhere the person died to file the criminal complaint. So have a detailed scenario prepared for the distrit attorney as well as the state bar association when you file. Do not allow anyone dissuade you, and do not delay.
