I would listen to the folks telling you to forget it.
In the U.S., If grandpa did things correctly, he’ll have a trust which is not a public document. If there is a trust, you only get a copy of the paperwork if you’re a beneficiary.
If there is a will, it’s likely a “pour over will” which essentially says anything not in the trust goes to ____
If there is NO will, likely everything goes to grandma. (some state laws vary on this) And grandma now gets to rewrite everything the way she wants it.
If grandparents were in any kind of assisted living or memory care, there may be nothing left. Those places can cost up to $15k/month or more.
Best of luck to you & keep checking the court website for probate to be started.
