Suggest you obtain the services of a probate lawyer to conduct an investigation for you to determine if any assets were left to you by the aunt. However, before you go to the attorney, look up your aunt's estate ,in the county of the death, probaate court, to see if her estate was probated. If so, obtain a copy of the records to take to the attorney for a review for you.
