You're going to need to start with looking into the Probate Court where your grndfather was residing when he passed away. That is the best starting place for locating the will. Also, do you know what the assets were? Do you know what ank accounts he used?
If you want to contact me off of the list, I can do a preliminary search for you and tell you what I come up with. I can be reached through my site at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com
Also, I believe you could have started this process when you were 18, not 21, unless the will specifically stated otherwise. Not a problem, just as long as you get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
