Power-of-attorney expires immediately upon death. If you are saying she is the executor, you will be notified by the lawyer handling the estate if you are a beneficiary. You can call that lawyer directly and ask if you are named in the will. If you aren't named, that is the end of what you can do, unfortunately.

Hon, a will is public record, go to the Courthouse and ask for a copy of her will as long as it is out of probate and filed with the court. Oh and they will charge you a small fee for the will.

Members of the public in the UK can see a copy of any will.
The probate service has a premium rate phone number
09065596009.
If you call that number they can tell you where you can get a copy of your grandmothers will.

should there not have been a reading of the will?
Not a lawyer here but,
your Aunt not disclosing the contents of the will does not sound kosher.
Guess you could send her a registered letter requesting copy of will..
(RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.....so she has to sign for it).
If I were doing it I would check web for examples of more formal/detached/businesslike letter writing style.
At least you will have paper trail in the event YOU DO seek legal help.
leave emotional appeals out of it

You need to contact whoever is the executor of her estate. This is a public information and can be obtained in court.

The will has to be filed in probate court and then you can access it. If the things she wanted you to have are not specifically listed, you likely won't get them.

If it's like that it's a lawyer-fest.
