I have a question I’m not sure how the laws work with it but when I was around 9 my grandmother (my moms mom) passed

Hi, welcome to Just Answer and thank you for using our services. I am sorry to hear about your predicament. Do not worry, the limitation date has not yet passed. First of all, the passage of time was suspended while you were a minor. Then it started running again only from the moment you found out about the whole affair (the "discoverability" principle). What you need to find out is when this will was probated. You can contact the Superior Court of Justice at the town where it most likely was done and tell them that you are one of the beneficiaries and that you want to see that file. Once you have the court file ask the clerk to photocopy everything in it - there will be all kinds of documents there, including the will, the affidavit of the executor of the will and the order for distribution. That will give you a clear idea about a who did what and where your money went.

Then you need to hire a lawyer to start a lawsuit for fraud and "conversion (civil legal term meaning theft) against the responsible individual(s).

You are more than welcome. If you have no further questions for now, will you kindly rate me, since that is the only way that I will get paid?
