Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Yes, you have rights. Hire a lawyer to write a demand letter, shouldn't cost you much, call me if you'd like.

Not only should you be shown the will, but it should have been lodged with the court for probate purposes years ago. The lawyer should have known that.

You do have a right to see the will and you should move quickly to protect your rights. Any time limits on what you can do would have started to run when your turned 18. You should make your demand for a copy of the will in writing. You should also check the Court records in the place where your Grandparents lived. If their Wills were probated then you can look at the Court file for those probates.

Good luck.
