Do I have a right to stuff I left at my childhood home?

Asked by furious_rose (476points) December 27th, 2017

My mother died in May and wrote me out of the Will because we were estranged at the time of her death.
Mom left everything, including the family home (worth $900K), to my 22-year-old daughter. This has caused animosity between my daughter and myself, and we no longer speak.
My daughter is making all sorts of changes to the house in which I grew up, and it’s making me extremely anxious. She might throw out things that have sentimental value to me, and I want to retrieve the items that are unquestionably MINE (old yearbooks, toys, clothes, etc.).
Do I have a right to try to get my stuff back? Or, since I am estranged from both my mother and my daughter, have I given up all rights to any property left behind?
