If you were a beneficiary�under the Will, you should have revieved notification. If you did not receive such a notice, then you were not named in the Will. There is no legal requirment that a granchild be left an inheritance.

If the Will has been entered into probate, then�it is now a public document and can be viewed by anyone (for a minimal fee).
