Are the beneficiaries of a Will entitled to a copy of the Will?
And an accounting of the disbursment? My brother is the executor and my sister and I are completely in the dark.

In Florida you certainly are entitled to a copy of the Will and an accounting. I cannot imagine a state in which you are not entitled to this. I suggest you call the attorney who is handling the estate and ask for these items. This is often easier than asking the executor - after all, attorneys make copies and mail documents all day long. Good luck.
