A: The court file is public information. You can look at it any time you wish and even make copies (though most courts charge a fee for copies). If you need help interpreting what you are seeing in the file, or if you are concerned that the executor is not performing his or her duties properly, do not call the executor's attorney. He or she does not represent you. You will need to hire your own attorney for interpretation and advice.
