Usually there are steps to be followed before the estate is finally settled. Depending on the state, there is an ending date, which might be a year later. There is also an extended period of time for bills to be presented to the estate for payment. The thing to do is to wait, offer any help or documentation if you have it, and wait some more until the estate is settled. Becoming an issue with the executor certainly will not speed things up.
Beneficiery can sue.
thats really depends. Some moms wont but some moms have eyes in the back of their heads and the ears of a hawk.
I think they wont care. My dad sometimes wears my moms thongs and we don't care.
The brother needs a lawyer. Have the brother's lawyer contact the mother's lawyer and find out what is going on.
Your father's will was filled with the court when the estate was opened (if the estate isn't opened yet - then nobody has been appointed executor). Such documents are public records in most states. The estate was probably filed in the county where your father was living at the time of his death. Except for tiny rural counties, most courts have these documents online and you can access them through the court's website. If they don't have online access, you can go to the courthouse and look at it or hire a lawyer to get it for you. WARNING, as an attorney, I find it very suspicious that the executor will not give a copy of the will to a child of the deceased. After you get a copy of the will (or if you can't get one) I would recommend that you speak with a local lawyer who's experienced in probate. You should also be aware that there are strict deadlines in these matters and "if you snooze, you lose."
A POA is extinguished when the principal has died. The executor must present the Will to the probate court and request appointment as the executor. They have no authority until they have been appointed by the court.
If there is a will, there is probably a probate case in the local court. The file will contain a copy of the will (if not the original). If you are named in the will, the person administering the will (called the executor of the estate) has a legal obligation to give you what is promised, if at all possible. The clerk at the probate office will tell you who the executor is, if you ask. If you do not get what you are owed, you need a lawyer. If the will has not been filed, you need a lawyer.
I would consider to, if it were to ever get to touching, and your mom isn't listening, to get some help whether that be at school with a councilor, or to get help some other way. Just a suggestion.

Using someone else's credit card without permission is considered fraud, which is a criminal offense. It is possible for you to face legal consequences such as fines or even imprisonment, depending on the laws of your location and the extent of the fraud committed. It is important to take responsibility for your actions and work towards resolving the situation with your mom and legal authorities.
