What is the name of your state? Michigan
My grandmother passed away almost a year ago. My mother passed before that. I have one uncle on that side of the family. I am unclear on a lot of details so bear with me. I received a letter from an attorney at the time of my grandmothers passing telling me that I would have been entitled to part of the estate had my grandmother not left a will. Apparently when my mother passed, my grandmother changed her will so that my uncle would be the sole beneficiary, but in my uncle's own words, my grandmother left specific instructions to "take care of the grandchildren" and even stated an approxamite dollar amout.
I and my brothers are not particularly close with my mothers side of the family. But it has been almost a year and I have almost no word of what is going on. I do know that my uncle sold my grandmothers house in August and from my understanding this was the last step in taking care of my grandmothers things. Could things still be in motion? If I continue to hear nothing from my uncle what options to I have?
I do not want to have to fight over what is really such a little thing. I did not expect much if anything from my grandmother. But I feel as though I should weigh my options.
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.
