Q: What do I have to do to get money out of a court blocked account?
My name is Elijah I am 21, I live in Los Angeles, CA. Mother died in 2008 when I was a minor and soon after my grandmother was named my guardian and a bank account of some of my mother's money was set up for me by the court. I went to Bank of America and they told me I have to get a document from a court to get the money. I called LA Court and Norwalk court they were no help at all, however I did research online and found that MC-357 form may be what I need, I also printed it out just in case, but I'm trying to make sure if this is what I need and what exactly what to do with it or if I need to do something else entirely.
