Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
It's unclear from your question whether the proper jurisdiction is NY or TX. If the proper jurisdiction is Texas, then you can use Texas Probate Code 75 to compel the person with possession of the Will to turn it over to the probate court. You will need to consult with a local probate attorney to assist you in getting started with this.

Although it is more economical feasible to put all your properties in one trust you can set up two trust and put separate properties in each trust.

The terms of your mother's will determine you and your brother's rights, obligations, and duties with regard to settling her estate and the division of her property. If your mother is still mentally capable of doing so, it is a good idea to talk to her about these issues now while she is still alive. The division of her personal property in the home is something that she could do while living, and it would be up to her to include or exclude her husband from the process. It sounds as though your mother is quite ill, so this may not be possible. If you have a copy of your mother's will, it may be a good idea to take it to a local attorney who is knowledgeable about probate law to discuss your concerns.
