Can an executor hide information from a sibling?
Generally, the status of a person as a "sibling" is not relevant. What is relevant is whether that sibling is or is not a beneficiary under the will. An executor has an obligation to give information to the beneficiaries of the estate as named in the will, not to all the decedent's relatives. If a sibling (whether it is a sibling of the decedent or of the executor) has no interest in the estate, he/she has no rights to information about the estate. In some jurisdictions, an executor might be required to simply give that sibling notice of the probate of the will, even if the will gives that sibling nothing, but only if that sibling would inherit some part of the estate in absence of the will. As with all legal questions, the specific answer may differ from state to state depending on that state's laws. So you must check those laws to get the precise answer.
