More details to this question:
Grandmother passed away. She lived with her boyfriend in his home. She paid the bills. He (her boyfriend) wouldn't let us take a grandfather clock that my grandfather (deceased) bought for my grandmother for their anniversary. Many witnesses to conversations that my grandmother and I had that the clock would go to me after she passed away. Not stated in her will. What are the steps to be taken? Do I have a case? I'm in New York she was in Florida.

You have no realistic case. In theory, you could open an estate and seek turnover of her personal property, but as a clock is not titled, he can simply say it is his clock, and you are basically done.
