Unless your parent, who was her child, died, you are not an heir. However, there is a principle called virtual or equitable adoption that may cover you. It is probably a long shot, but might be worth pursuing. Of course, your aunts and uncles could all include you as an heir and give you a part of their inheritance. You really need to speak to a probate lawyer with experience handling cases like yours.
