Re: access inheritance
I can't be sure without seeing the will, but it sounds like the 2/12 gift would occur only if your mother had died before your grandparents.
If the money is in an irrevocable trust that has you as a beneficiary, you are entitled to get a copy of that trust.
Still, you should have someone review the original trust to be sure.
