A: This depends on what the Will says. It might say that it goes to the heirs or beneficiaries of whoever predeceases your mother. It might say something else. Take it to a local probate lawyer who can interpret it for you.

A: I suggest you consult with an experienced probate attorney to ascertain your rights and learn of any available options in pursuing them. Most will offer a free consultation and I always suggest you consult with at least 2. Do not rely on advice given on a forum such as this as it is meant for general information purposes only, not to address case specifics. Best wishes.
