Huge estate battle looming. WHAT do i DO?

[JusticeHasNoClr]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

Under grandparent's will, grandchildren are to receive equal shares (roughly 16.67%) of GP's estate upon a certain age. Within 3 timeframes (of 35 years of age, 40 and 45yoa) the entire amount of that grandchild's estate is to be given out. The will is held in trust by a POA (by the parent of 3 of these grandchildren). Other 3 GC are from other side of the family. That child of GP is deceased. GP entrusted his other child to hold POA.

Problem is that POA refuses to 'acknowlege' existence of the will even though I saw it myself! And refuses to pay out any money.

I clearly remember the names of the attorneys that were responsible for the drafting of the will. I do not have a legal copy of the will. What can I do to 'enforce' this will & force POA to reveal the estate's wealth and begin payments? I am 38yo. Have been fighting 3 years for a right to access to this.

note: POA gave parent the power to take away all money from one of the GC should that GC be declared 'unfit' to receive it. Other than that, when I ran this will past my attorney he determined that parent must abide by it. I do have a copy (taken by cellphone camera).

POA is dishonest and I am sure that she will attempt to cause problems.
My 16.67% of the estate is valued about ~ $3 million.

My 16.67% of the estate is valued about ~ $3 million.

I'm not trying to be rude, inconsiderate, dismissive... Really. But I have to ask:

With ~ $3 million at stake, what are you doing on an internet forum? And, if you have an attorney, why aren't you consulting with him?

The will is held in trust by a POA ... What can I do to 'enforce' this will & force POA ... POA gave parent the power to take away all money...

This talk of a "will held in trust" and a POA makes no sense. A will is not held in trust. A will is a document that expresses the final wishes of the person making a will. Until it is submitted for probate and administration of the estate begun, it is only the final wishes. It is not an enforceable document by itself outside the probate process.

Really not sure what you mean by "the POA." The authority granted to an attorney-in-fact by a principal under a Power of Attorney ceases when the principal passes away.
