If your grandmother left a will she would have named a person in that will to be Executor / Executrix of her will. That person is legally obligated to fulfill the requirements of settling the estate. This would include paying outstanding taxes, debts, or bills first. If there is anything left after that, the Executor / Executrix would then proceed to disperse the funds or turn over chattels to the party ( s ) named in the will. The laws vary greatly from country to country, state to state, such as inheritance tax or if the person passes without a will, called intestate. In such a case, generally speaking, the courts would follow "closest relative" inheritance, such as spouse, then underage children, children, siblings, grandchildren, on down the line.
Here in Canada you could inquire from her lawyer if she had a will but they cannot discuss the contents of that will. You may also petition the Probate Court through a lawyer to discover the existence of a will.
Hope that helps a bit. My condolences on your loss.

I think it would be filed at the court house, probably the county she lived in.

You will be contacted if you were. Asking around makes you sound like a mooch-please do not do that. If there is no will then it's up to her children to divide things.

see what the people who were closest to her are doing. are they splitting up her belongings? did she have anything significant? are they fighting over who gets what? stop by the county court house and ask them if there is a will.

If you were in her will you would be contacted. A will can not be read without everyone mentioned in it present.

if your name is listed you will be notified by the attorney handling it or the executor if it is different than the lawyer.
