If a) it is in YOUR name and b) you don't get sued - KEEP IT
If the grandmother explicitly left money in YOUR name, to me that CLEARLY implies she wanted YOU to have the money and YOU to decide what to do with it. So if it's in YOUR name, keep it. Unless... see below.
$10K is probably not worth a lawsuit. If the money's not in your name, walk away. If your ex sues you, I'd walk away too. $10K isn't actually a lot when it comes to legal fees.
