I am so sorry for your loss and for the situation. So if your Grandmother had a Will and it was probated then it is a public record and on file in the Probate Court. You can go and get a copy. You should have gotten a copy when the estate was probated. Your Father (whom I assume is the executor) breached a duty to you if you guys did not receive one. Start there. The executor of the Will has to file an Inventory of Assets and an Accounting as well if required by the court or heirs. Take the documents you copy to someone to review. Good luck.
