Q: My husband and I were told the lawyer has dissolved the account, and forgot to write out our beneficiary check .
All of a sudden we were told the investment account was dissolved, we were named in a will but the account is dissolved, so what do we do now, we're confused as to why he forgot to issue our check left by the deceased.

A: Apparently you have no idea what is going on. Initially you need to examine the Probate File at Court, to see what is happening . The Will may or may not have been Probated. Then you may need a competent attorney to inquire of the Executor where your money is. The Estate may not be closed yet and distributions may not have been made yet. Or it may have been insolvent, which in my opinion means it should never have been Probated in the first place. If the Estate is closed, you can move to reopen. Good Luck !!!
