You need to hire counsel in the Dominican Republic to see if you have any rights. Best of luck to you.

It depends upon who died when. You really need to speak directly with an attorney - preferably one in the DR.

It depends on the laws of the DR and on the title to the assets, among other things. More information is needed. Was there a Will or Trust? Rights of heirs only apply in the absence of estate planning that provides otherwise.

If she passed away years ago, the estate is probably already settled and all the assets distributed. The statute of limitations to challenge the distribution has probably already passed.

Contact a Dominican Republic lawyer to assist you, or a U.S. lawyer who is experienced with the inheritance statutes of the Dominican Republic as to your right to inherit your grandmother's property.

If she was in the U.S., you need to open a probate estate for your grandmother and then hire an attorney in the Dominican Republic to help you.
