Father and grandmother died

[Simplynicole75]

2/20/15
I just received a certified letter from my one cousin informing me both my father and his mother my grandmother died December 2014 and I am to receive zero. I responded to her letter via certified of acknowledgment of receipt. I have zero information on my father or anything I don't even know where his remains are.
When my grandpa died his Will stated everything was for his wife and when she does what remains is for any and all heirs. I am out of town 2/22-3/1 and when I return I plan to go to WPB to retrieve copies of Wills, Death Certificates and Medical Examinor reports (answers)
I don't know what to do or where to begin. I don't know if what this cousin typed is true stating she is the successor of my grandmothers Will and I am to receive zero when I read my grandpas Will in 2010 and it stated to any and all heirs when his wife dies. Please advise or direct me

Please accept my sincerest condolences upon the loss of your beloved relatives.
I'm sure it is still a shock to you.

Let's look at your issue this way, Nicole.
I'll reduce it all to a little story, and tie it all up at the end.

John and Jane Smith are married.
John is 85 years old. Jane is 88 years old.
John and Jane each create a will.
Jon wishes to leave everything to Jane, should he predecease her.
John desires Mary to receive all of his worldly possessions, and upon Jane's death, John wishes everything to go to their children, Joey and Judy.

Sadly, a week later, John has a massive coronary and dies 12 hours later.

Suddenly, Jane owns everything.

Jane never liked Judy, her daughter.

Jane changes her will to leave all of her worldly possessions to Joey, her loving son.
Jane, always the joker, leaves a two dollar bill to her, lazy, mean daughter, Judy.

Judy learns of this change, and rushes to mother's house.
Judy and her mother get into an argument.
Jane gets excited, and chokes on a chicken bone.
Judy rushes Jane to the hospital, and sadly Judy expires in the ER.

Joey arrives the next day to mother's home with a Mayflower moving crew.
Mother's antiques, her jewelry, dad's (now mother's vast coin collection and safe full of gold bullion) are whisked away to Joey's safe deposit box at Billionaire's Bank.

Poor Judy, she takes nothing.

You see, Nicole, once dad dies, mother owned everything.
If dad wanted others to take portions of his estate, he had to bequeath things to them upon his passing, not to his wife.
Mother could have chosen to do what dad wanted, but she didn't want to do that.

That's where you stand, Nicole.
You take nothing.
Grandfather should have bequeathed stuff to you before he died, or made sure his will said who was to get what upon his passing.
All grandfather did was bequeath it all to his wife, for her to disburse later.
Later has arrived, and it appears you are to receive zilch.

This happens more often than you might imagine.

So, you look stuf over upon your return and see for yourself if your cousin is telling you the truth, or just having some fun with you.
