My jurisdiction is: NORTH CAROLINA
My grandfather went to a lawyer and had his will made several years ago. He died a few years later. In his will he left my grandmother in charge of the business and several other real estate assets. She was to carry on with the business and upon her death the business was to be split between his son, (my father) and his two daughters. The property was listed to remain in the family and upon his childrens death it was to be passed down to his grandchildren and so on. My father died in 2005 and his sisters took grandma to the lawyer and had my father removed from the will so that my bother and i would not inherit his portion. My grandmother passed this week and the oldest daughter said that she was in charge of the estate and that all the grandchildren were to get $1000.00 each and that was it. The business that grandfather never wanted sold was sold this week, mysteriously the same week grandmother died. My brother and i haven't any idea how to get our hands on the will to see if what was done is legal. Since my father died, should we not receive his part of the inheritance Also, grandmother died of alzhiemers and was not in her right frame of mind when my father passed and the will was changed. What can we do to get the will? Since we were listed on the will should we not be allowed to view the will?
