Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

Asset Determination - St. Louis

My mom was listed as the personal representive for a grandparent living in St. Louis. My mom passed before my grandparent, so my aunt took my grandparent to the attorney and had the will changed to name her POA and also changed the content of the will. I know prior to my moms passing was listed on various checking accounts and possibly other items. After my grandparents passing, my aunt has said everything would be split as though my mom was still alive. She later said I was ''cut out of the will'' but everything was still going to be split as though my mom was still alive. During the past several months I have received a small amount of what would have been due to my mother. When my aunt was asked about giving me a copy of the will and assets, she said she didn't have one. After a few weeks, I called the clerks office and received one. Long story short, it states per stirpes I should receive my mom's share. In addition to bank accounts, there is stock.

Is there a way to determine what assets- bank accounts, stock, life insurance..... a person has? How can you determine the accuracy of what is reported in court?

Any recomendations?

Thank-you
