If your grandmother obtained the policy on your mother's life, it is her right to receive the proceeds. However, if you think the policy has you as the beneficiary, then you would have to bring an action against your grandmother, which will be difficult. If the niece has taken the paperwork, then you would also have to bring her into the case. The question is whether the size of the policy warrants bringing an action.
