The purpose of a will is to direct how a person's individually-owned property will be distributed when they die. Some States have established will registries where individual wills may be stored until it is time to settle an estate. You may call the county clerk where you live to see if your State has a will registry. Even in States with a will registry a person may keep their will themselves in a safe deposit box or with their attorney's office. Sometimes a will may be "lost" if nobody knows it exists or where it is located. In this case there may be a public will search with advertisements asking if anybody knows where this will may be.
If your Grandmother had a will it would appoint a person to be the "personal representative" of her estate. This person has the responsibility to pay expenses and see that property which your Grandmother owned by herself is distributed as she wished. The personal representative may not have to start a court action, called a probate, in order to distribute your Grandmother's property as she wished. Because of this even if your Grandmother had a will it may not necessarily be a matter of public record that you can research. If your Grandmother did not have a will the law of your State will determine how her own property is distributed. If you have some concerns that your Grandmother's property is not being distributed as you think she may have wished and your family will not talk to you about the matter you might consider consulting with an attorney in your local area who specializes in estate litigation.

unless you are 21 there is no reason to have to tell you.
if you are 21 you are entitled to attend the reading of the will, subject to the approval of g/m solicitor.
do you know who was her solicitor/lawyer?
