The letter writer left her ex recently; her ex's grandmother died before the LW left. Granny bequeathed the LW the money because she was the grandson's partner, and for no other reason. The LW is no longer the grandson's partner; ergo, she is not entitled to the money, no matter what the will says. There's legal, and there's ethical. She should give the money back--and she knows it.
