Law / Lawyer - Inheritance [11]

Hi everyone,

I live in Canada. In 2018 my dad passed away and then in 2022 my grandma passed away. I found out through my second cousin that something happened and it may have been criminal. My grandma's apartment went to a relative I never met (possibly 2nd cousin's daughter?) And another 2nd cousin was involved too. My grandma also owned land. We have no idea what happened to the land paperwork. I wasn't even allowed to enter my grandma's apartment, apparently there was a flood and it wasn't well looked after. Apparently a bunch of furniture was thrown out. I'm sure these relatives took her jewelry and other valuables that I will never get to see. It sucks I can't prove this in court. Funny thing is when the flood happened and the water bill was really high, they tried to get me to pay for it and told me it was my responsibility. I went to the water utility place in Poland with my ex-cousins wife and they told me it wasn't because it wasn't in my name.

I hired a lawyer in Poland, my cousin's ex-wife is helping me. I understand everything in Polish but I can't speak fluently. The problem is I feel in the dark because I can't/don't communicate with the lawyer. I think my cousin's ex-wife wife has my best intentions, we were always close and I stay with her when I visit. There is a lot more to it and my lawyer tried to file a criminal case but the judge threw it out and now he is appealing. My grandma was not of sound mind when the will was rewritten and she was taken to a notary. My lawyer is trying to see if these relatives profited since my grandma was sick and put into a nursing home. I can't remember the word but the relative that stole my grandma's apartment was her like care taker while she was in the nursing home. The lawyer said either I'd have to split the apartment with this cousin or I'd win everything. It's frustrating because occasionally I sent money because the lawyer needs to get more paperwork from different places to make my case stronger. If my dad was still alive this wouldn't have happened. I can't believe these relatives are doing this to me, I'm fighting because it's the principle of it all. I had to fly down to Poland and was so upset when I missed my grandma's funeral. This was still during the pandemic so it was a pain. I had to get tested before going etc.

We got all the medical papers from the nursing home. My grandma had a tumour in her dead and was very hard at hearing. I even hired a medical professional to go through her medical records and provide his professional opinion if she was of sound mind or not.

I was hoping someone would be able to give me some Insight to inheritance law in Poland and any other advice really.

Thank you all in advance and I hope I provided enough information.
