Your aunt owes you an accounting and, if you have reached the specified age (18-25), the money. Have you asked her for it? If so, and she's uncooperative, get an attorney.

You may be able to have an attorney take it on a contingency if it is a strong case. Information regarding your grandfather's will...if he had one or not, same as to your grandmother and the dates of death and date you reached majority. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
