Dear Judge [Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance regarding the brokerage account of my late father, [Father's Name], who passed away on December *, *. I am a beneficiary of his estate and have encountered challenges in obtaining information about this account.

However, this amount was not reflected in the distributions made this past summer and does not appear in other bank statements obtained through discovery.
When I requested assistance from Charles Schwab regarding this missing amount, I was informed that I would either need to be appointed as executor of the estate or file for discovery. As my sibling, the trustee, would likely oppose my appointment as executor, I am requesting your assistance in gaining access to these records through discovery.
Specifically, I request account statements from January * to the present, showing all transactions and holdings within the account, and any relevantinformation clarifying the utilization and disposition of the life insurance funds.

Part */*:
When I asked the representative I was working with through Charles Schwab to help me account for this missing money, they stated I would either need to be appointed as executor of the estate, or file for discovery to obtain that information. Given that the brokerage account operates separately from the case referenced above, it has its own arrangements for predetermined beneficiaries, which included myself. Given the current state of matters regarding the trust, I do not feel that pursuing the executor role will be feasible, as it is likely my sibling, the trustee, would oppose such an arrangement.
****, your letter is detailed and well-written. Here are some modifications to make it more concise and clear:
