I cannot find a will and my grandma says there is a will, but will not produce it to look over. My mom was in hospice care, but referred to my grandma's to receive end of life care. Will they have it? Can I subpoena to receive end of life care? Will they have it? Can I subpoena the conservatorship documents and will to be produced? What are the procedures to do so? Will you help direct me to someone who can assist if you are unable to? Please. Also my grandma claims to have the power to have my mom creamated and buried in her yard and didn't include us in any of the plans or consult us on being sure that's what my mom wanted for her final resting ceremony.

Consult an attorney. And all caps is very hard to read to say nothing about there is no reason to yell.

The usual procedure is to allow a decent interval before you think of getting lawyers involved; settling even a straightforward estate can easily take a year. When did your mother pass away?

I'm a bit revolted by the idea of badgering a woman who has just watched her daughter die about a piece of paper, I must admit. If that's unfair for reasons you haven't gone into, I apologise.

Is anybody else on better terms with your grandmother and able to discuss arrangements with her?

I had to smile when all caps are used. I didn't realize when you used all caps it meant emphasis or yelling. I've used all caps in the past because it was easier for me to read.

Sadly, a lot of feelings are hurt during this time of mourning. Check the state you live in and google to see what your rights are if you can't afford an attorney. I'm so sorry for your loss. Great memories go a long way to help us heal.

This is confusing. I wonder how old you are.

First, any POA in effect is now null and void. As are any guardian or conservator papers. I don't understand the "end of life" stuff. She is gone what does it matter. And "died suddenly", she was on Hospice. That means she was terminal.

Seems to me Mom made Grandma in charge. Told her what her final wishes were. Why did Mom not talk this over with her children? How much were her children involved in her final days?

If Grandma is Executor to the Will, she is not obligated to show it to you. At the time she probates it, all beneficiaries and interested parties will get a letter informing them that the Will has been Probated and is now public. At the time a copy can be sent with the letter or requested. Probate is not an overnight thing. Final bills have to be paid. If Mom owned a house it has to be sold. In my State probate can't be closed for 8 months. An accting has to be done and Okd by probate. Once that is done, then the estate will be split by the terms of the will.
