My grandma who I have not had much contact with due to her being on my fathers side recently past away. There was a meeting held at my aunts were they read her will. She left all 7 grandchildren everything and her children nothing. The executors who are my aunt and uncle said they want it to be fair, but I have a feeling they are not being fair. I have not been at my grandmas house in 12 years and am not sure what is all there. My father told me that my other aunt saw my two cousins who live in different states, who are children to the exectors, have been to the house and took what they wanted before they went home and before the will was even read. The exectors said nothing has been taken out of the house. Then after the will was read the grandkids were able to pick out some Jewlery, but there is a lot of her more expensive jewlery missing such as pearl and diamond rings and earrings and nobody knows where it is. I am under the impression that either they let their kids take it or someone has taken it. The execitors are also saying they want to go to the house with us 7 grandkids individually to say what we want. I made a suggestion that all of us who are able to go over there do together to go through everything, but they said no that's to many people to have there at once. I was also told that she feels it is an invasion of her moms privacy to have all of us going through everything. My understanding is that since the 7 grandkids are the ones left everything it should be are decision and that it is are stuff to go through now. Please help me to understand what my rights are at this time.

Hello lips:

Your situation is complex and involves many more factors than you've given us... But, I can offer a twofer. If you HIRE an attorney, not only can he tell you what your rights are, but he can DO something about them. That's really the important part. Because if you found out here, that you can challenge the decisions being made, how would YOU go about doing that?? Certainly, if you got on the phone with the executor and TOLD them that, they'd laugh at you... You need somebody to DO something, and that's what lawyers do.

I have tried to contact a few lawyers and they all seem very expensive. I am a mother of two kids just trying to get through Chirstmas. I was hoping that there was something I was able to do on my own or with the help of a few cousins.
