Not all bank accounts pass through probate. If your grandmother had a POD (payable on death account) naming you as the payee, no will or estate administration is necessary.
I'd suggest you get a copy of her death certificate, find out where she regularly banked and contact them. If that does not work contact banks near where she lived when she set this up.
