I am particularly concerned why your Aunt won't let her mother see the Will. I see this situation when the Aunt may have unduly influenced her mother to execute a Will that favored her over others.

The easiest and cheapest way to get around this problem is to have your grandmother create a new Will that gives her assets to exactly who she wants. The new Will, if properly attested, will override the old Will. Your grandmother would have to be of sound mind, however, to create a new Will.
