Q: Hi I want to know what is a contact person on someone's will?
My grandmother recently passed away. 2 weeks after funeral I was told there were multiple people on her bank accounts. Knowing that I was the beneficiary and was told she changed that I called bank of America estate unit to ask if I am on any accounts or beneficiary. One lady told me she will update my information she has that's in the system and I will get a letter in the mail. I called back to ask a question and was told no I'm not on anything but I am a contact person. I wanna know what is the contact person I'm confused and should I go to the bank personally to see?
A:
She seems to have said that she updated your contact information.
That doesn't mean they will contact you.
Looks like they don't show your name on any of her accounts.
