Dear Abby: My kids’ college fund vanished after grandma’s passing

Dear Abby: My grandmother passed away 16 years ago. Before she passed, she told me and my two kids that she had an account for each of them for their college. After she was gone, my aunt was in charge of her will. My kids never got their money, and my aunt would never let me see my grandmother’s will.

I heard my grandmother ask my aunt if she had filed her will at the courthouse, and my aunt told her she did. But when I went to the courthouse, the will was not on file. How do I raise the subject of my kids’ inheritance with my aunt? Right now, I’m living with her. How do I do this without causing an argument in the family?

Dear Owed: If you were named in your grandmother’s will, you had a right to see the document. For your aunt to disregard her mother’s wishes and hoar
