Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Your lawyer is correct. However, if the bank will not accept the court order appointing you as executor, it's faster, cheaper, and easier to just provide them with a copy of the death certificate. Otherwise, you will have to haul them into probate court and have the court order them to recognize you as executor.

My sisters refuse to give me a copy of my parents' will for 2 years already, what can I do?

If your parents are deceased, and the sister has the original will AND she's refusing to probate it, you can file an action in probate court forcing them to deliver the original wills to the court clerk. If you can't afford to pay a lawyer to do it, you might check with a local law school and see if a legal clinic or law professor can assign a student attorney to do it for you.

A spouse has a right to renounce the Will. If she remained his spouse at the time of his death then she is entitled to the spousal right to renounce the Will regardless of the intention of either party.
