Q: The will says I am to get my grandmothers jewelery, guns, and Woodman account. But I was not listed as the beneficiary
But I was not listed as the beneficiary on the account. It was paid out to the estate executor. Is the money from the account still mine according to the will?

A:
You have not provided enough information. Hire a competent attorney to represent your interests. Apparently a Will was Probated, so the Executor will marshall up the Assets of the Estate, then administer the
Estate which includes making distributions. You may have to move the
Court to make a determination as to the actual nature of certain Assets which were gathered from the Account. You cannot sit on your rights, speed is very important here.
