Basically, my grandfather remarried 16 years ago. She brought nothing into the marriage, while he had a paid off house and retirement money. They sold his house and bought one together. He had 4 kids, she has 3. They both changed their wills to make each other the beneficiary and then stated that the 7 kids should split what was left when they both passed.
Unfortunately my grandfather passed first. Immediately after, the step grandmothers child with POA (or whatever it’s called) dumped her in a nursing home and has ignored her. She also changed the code/locks on the house so we were unable to get the items of my grandfathers (including a handmade two person swing and his American flag). My parents just found out that they have since sold the house and changed step-grandmothers will so they are the only heirs. (We are unsure if step grandmother knows they did this or not. She still calls my father to complain that they never visit her, etc.)
My parents don’t think they have a case because legally, she is the beneficiary and can do what she wants with the money. I was just hoping for a second opinion because they are so upset about this. It isn’t about the money, it’s about how they are acting and the refusal to let us get my grandfather items before they sold the house.
