Do we have to wait for my brother to sell my mothers home before reading the will?

I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies, You have a right to have a copy of your mother's Will regardless of what happens to the house. The treatment of the house depends on how the title was held at time of her death. If it was held in a trust or in a joint tenancy it may have passed outside the Will. Otherwise, the Will is likely to control.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

Answered by attorney Christine James

The issues you are addressing are minor. You need to focus on the big picture and could use the counsel of an attorney for that (see 15 minute lawyer.com for low cost legal advise). Has your brother in law been appointed executor by the court? If not, he has no legal authority to do anything. In addition it sounds like, since the house is empty, it needs to be sold and the proceeds distributed. What is being done to make that happen?
