<prompt> Human: My moms biological father was apparently a very wealthy man from Michigan. She had never known him and did not know of him for the majority of her childhood. My grandma, who has passed away less than a year ago, had told my mom that her dad had put away a fund for her. However when my grandma had tried to collect the money after my moms dad had died while mom was still a child the family refused to give it to her. I would like to know if theres any way we can find if this money exists, or had ever existed, and if theres any way my mom can collect it while knowing very little about her dad. If my grandma was right then this could be very important for our family as my mom was diagnosed with cancer not long ago and had to quit her job, and dad is now working 6 days a week to keep us in our house. We have no clue how to even start going about this so if anyone knows the best way to go about this or where to start that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!  <response>: beaucoupYou might want to consult rlegaladvice. If there is indeed a fund in your moms name, but the family is preventing access, thats a legal matter.
