Nomination is only for collecting money. After collection the money it has to be divided among the legal heirs. So You can file a suit for your share of money and obviously in that suit your grandmother claim the presence of will. There you can question the veracity of the will and seek for your share of money.

contest the WILL on its merit, declare the same as null and void, if you have sufficient proof, summon witness to the box and check the genuineness of the WILL ,she can be custodian of bank deposits, but she cannot disburse or utilise the same.
