    With no will your grandmother's estate is subject to the laws of inheritance in your area. ANY question on law NEEDS to include your general locale as laws vary.

    Most likely your father and uncle (his brother?) have legal claim on the estate.

    Normally you have no "share" of anything. Your grandmoters children (? Your father and uncle) would be the heirs and normally you will not have any right to any of it.

    And once they take ownership of the land, they are free to sell the timber if they want to, Your grandmothers wishes do not have to be followed.

    She should have done a will or put you on the deed or something, by doing nothing, she allows the laws of the area to decide who gets what.

    Her just raising you ( while wonderful) gives you no special rights
