IF your grandfather left a valid will, it should have been
admitted to probate, either in a probate court, surrogate court, or whichever other
judicial authority is responsible for probating wills and estates. My suggestion to you
would be to visit the local Courthouse or judicial center and ask someone there to
direct you to where wills are probated. There you should be able to view your
Grandfather's original Will and read it. Once you have found it, however, there is no
guarantee that his Will will provide you with the answers you are seeking. Although
there have been instances of guardians hiding information from the lawful heir; they are
not common. If for whatever reason it does appear that the guardian or your father has
mishandled your Grandfather's estate, you would need to retain an attorney immediately
and have the attorney sue for an accounting. All persons responsible for distributing
the assets of a deceased person in accordance with a Will are acting in a position of
trust, and must strictly account for their actions. Good luck.
