Atlanta, GA asked in Banking, Estate Planning and Probate for Georgia

Q: My aunt passed away 4 months ago and her beneficiary was her sister.

At one time she was extremely well off but over the years her health declined and no one knew what she had in accounts or banks. How can we find out if she had any bank accounts or any safe deposit boxes? There is a lot of unanswered questions about where her money and assets went over the years.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: You will want to consult with a probate attorney who can review the case and help you plan the proper course of action to investigate this. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
