What to do if my father recently passed away and his new wife will not show my brother and I the Will?

He died of cancer. We know he had 30k life insurance; he told my mother that there were 3 of us on the policy. The new wife’s attorny told us that he was not going to file the Will. I had a conversation with her last night and she mentioned executor release. my dad has no assets that we know of and a lot of old debt. My brother and I are students and do not have money for a lawyer.
