Hullo my mother passed away a year ago. There were 4 surviving siblings and the will was left with $10,000.00 to my

Hi, I’m John, solicitor, and reviewing your post, and may need to ask a few questions a long the way to assist you.

Concerning your important matter about the estate administration of your late mother, the executor has an obligation to inform all beneficiaries named on the wheel that there is a benefit coming to them and provide a copy of the will to that beneficiary when requested

If the executor has acted in this manner then there's no claim that can be raised against executor for any negligent handling of the estate

Where the child wants to make a claim against the estate this can be a very costly exercise and the process will require family provision which means there needs to be proceedings in the probate division of the Supreme Court. If she loses the case in the Supreme Court, she'll have to pay all the legal costs of the estate so this means the estate will not be out of pocket.
