I am assuming that her Will went through the Probate Court - that there was an executor appointed and the Will was probated - correct? A good place to start tracking it down is to go to the Probate Court and take a look at the file. It is a public record. The Will gives the details of the inheritance. If you were a minor at the time of her death it was either placed in a bank account in your name alone or with a guardian or trustee as well. The final accounting of the estate would state where it went. Good luck.
