Re: Grandparents death
With larger estates it could take that long. Did they live in Washington? If so, or anywhere else for that matter, you can review the probate file, which is a public record. You'll need to find out the County where the probate is filed. You could also hire the services of an attorney to find out about the estate and to let the Personal Representative know that you would like to receive notice and copies of all filed probate documents, which would include the Will.
Remember, I'm an attorney but I'm not YOUR attorney. Only a thorough review of your situation by a competent attorney after an attorney-client relationship has been established will result in an informed legal opinion.

Mr. Busch's answer is just right. (no reason for me to repeat it!)
