Grandmothers will in probate

My grandmother died recently and at the time of her demise i was only one living with her for past year and taking care of her.Was remodeling her home for 8 months and doing all her shopping ,cooking,cleaning ,etc. We were told not 2 sell off anything until matter resolved and i keep residing in house and to drive car. My greedy mom and aunt got house 4 days after death & have tried 2 get car as well,calling cops 2 no avail and trying to have towed illegally. Do i have any compensation rights? What are my rights here? My mom is executor & aunt and her are beneficiaries.

Re: Grandmothers will in probate

You could make a claim in the probate case for the value of your caregiving services. Once the executor/personal representative of the estate is appointed, it is the duty of the PR to take possession of the assets of the estate, administer the estate (pay bills, creditors and taxes) and then to distribute the assets to the heirs.
