As next of kin you should be in line for her property. I know the state of Illinois is corrupt, but your should certainly be entitled to what your grandmother owned. Illinois has to pay for all the prisons and personnel to run them, they will take your money anyway they can. My Grandmother died in Minnesota, I think I got like $60. The city took the property and said that at least they would make a park out of the land and name in after her. We drove past there a few months back and they had built onto the land. She ran a cafe and owned the lots for many years on the main street in town. This was only a little town of about 500 population. I just don't trust any bureaucrats no matter the size of the town.

Call an attorney and ask - in my state when there is "no will" the surviving sibling gets a share and the children of siblings decreased divide the other share. It can get complicated with multiple deceased siblings. But if might be worth looking into - check your telephone book for attorneys that offer a free consultation.
If there is a will and you were left nothing that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Not unless she had a will naming you & your siblings. If she died inprobate, everything goes to her surviving child.
