A: This may be a little complex, but first request the production of all cancelled checks or cash payments receipts for rent for the period of time in question. Analyzing the requested information may require skills you do not currently possess, such as sequential numbers on printed receipts etc.

The other way to back into it is to subpoena aunt's taxes to see if she claims rental income and in what amount and from whom.

These are really actions that should be undertaken by a professional, you should consult with one.
