By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

Once you get a Court Order, you need to notify the cemetery. The cemetery would contract their contractor, there would be a fee to open up the grave itself and equipment used to raise the casket. There would be a fee for this service.
The casket may need to be transported to another location to be opened because of State health issues, therefore a funeral home would need to be contacted for delivery, opening, and return on the casket, another fee. Upon return, the contractor called back to lower the casket into the grave. Don't know if a new coffin lining (a metal lining that is placed in the grave to which the coffin is placed inside) would be needed or not (depends on State laws), if yes, another fee.
The law stipulates that the OP would have to be under 24 years old with disabilities to be able to qualify for forced heirship.
Perhaps your siblings weren't trying to be spiteful, just felt these items belonged with your mother for eternity. The one thing nobody can take from you is the memory of her.
Please allow peace in your heart and the lovely memories of mom to prevail now. My condolences on your loss.
My mother said that she couldn’t bear to separate her from her rosary and buried them with grandma.
Wishing you peace.
Buy replicas or updated items that you can pass on to your own descendants. No need to talk to this executors after that.
I think I would either try to have a replica piece made or treat myself to a lovely new item of jewellery to signify rememberce.
As was already said, if you’re contesting the will then I assume an attorney is involved. If not, you need one. Two points in general: as I understand it – and I’m not a lawyer, this is just to improve the chances of a productive conversation with one— the fact that the newer will excluding you wasn’t done by an attorney doesn’t mean it’s invalid. Wills don’t have to be done by an attorney.
What catches my eye more is the fact that the brother-in-law was the witness. In general, though would depend on state law, the witnesses have to be “disinterested “. That means they can’t be beneficiaries, and at least one source here suggests they shouldn’t be related to beneficiaries either. )You didn’t actually say if the siblings received the estate or not, but if they did, this might be an important point to discuss with your lawyer).

I’m not completely sure what you hope to gain – unfortunately you’re not going to be able to get those particular items back - but good luck in your efforts.
That would seem to indicate that you have an attorney.
I would discuss this question with your attorney.
Best of luck to you.
