Grandparent died without will

Nathan (City of Edmonton)

Just about 2 years ago on may 26th my grandfather passed unexpectedly and didn't have a will, originally my cousin said she would deal with the lawyers and such...its been almost 2 years and basically have nothing to show for it because of excuses...then to boot I learned she's doing a lot of it illegally, as the inheritance should have been passed to the next of kin (my father), I'm not really sure how to handle this legally as I have mental health issues, does anyone have any advice?

Hi Nathan, you would benefit from having a lawyer look into this for you. Because lawyers need sufficient information to be able to provide an opinion, and to be able to ask you questions (which usually means at least a half-hour consultation), the lawyers here can only provide basic information and answer very general questions. Please contact a lawyer directly through the Search to seek assistance with your matter. Thank you for your understanding.
