More details to this question:
When I was around the age of 13, my grandmother passed away. Recently I discovered that I may have been a beneficiary to receive money at the time of my 18th birthday, although I have never received anything from this. I would like to obtain a copy of this will so that I can see if I really was a beneficiary.

Go to the County Clerk in the county where your grandmother resided at the time of her death and request a certified copy of her Last Will and Testament. It will be on file there if the Will was probated after she died. You will have to pay for the copy. Once you have obtained the Will, take it to a lawyer in your area who practices probate law and he or she will review the Will and tell you what your rights are with regard to any bequest.
