What to do if my grandfather just died and we have reason to believe he had a Will and life insurance but his new wife is saying he didn’t?
But he mentioned to me and my mother that he had life insurance and a Will but she insist he was mistaken. Is there anything we can do legally to find out if she is lying? And if she is lying what legal action can we take against her?

The best way to investigate the matter that you are writing about is to call around your community as to law firm and insurance agents that your grandfather may have done business with and ask if there is a Will or an insurance policy pertaining to him and if so, are you or your mother designated beneficiaries.
