I have been left somwething in a will and the person has died family is refusing to acknowledge there is a will what do i do

You can seek a court order to compel the family member holding the will to bring it into court. You will need to seek this action in the probate court of the county where the person who made the will lived at his/her death. You should consult with a lawyer to discuss the matter. A lawyer will work through the details with you and help you decide on best course of action. Tonya R. Coles Attorney at Law Elder Law -- Estate Planning -- Probate www.tonyacoles.com
