I am so sorry for your loss. Did she file the Will for Probate yet? If you are a beneficiary under the law - and you are because if your dad did not have a will you would inherit under intestacy - then you should receive a copy along with notice that the Will is being offered for Probate. If she has circumvented that law and filed without you getting a copy then you can go and see it yourself in the court file. It is a public record. I would suggest hiring an attorney to write a letter for you on a flat rate basis. This may motivate her to do the right thing. Good luck.
