There is no doubt they led me on a stray all along and I spent fees to do all this cause i had to because of the payoff of they said it was .
A: There is not enough information to give any solid advice. Someone has to review the account statements before making a conclusion. But regardless of the balance, your issue is how to get access to your mother's assets. You should discuss with a probate attorney and see how to approach it. An affidavit of heirship may or may not be suitable. You need to present the whole case to an attorney and let him/her advice you. Good luck.
