A:
If you believe Chase and PNC banks have mishandled your inherited assets, such as JPMorgan securities and a Vanguard IRA, it's crucial to take immediate action. First, gather all relevant documents, such as the will, trust, account statements, and any communication with the banks. This documentation will be vital in understanding and proving your case.
Next, you should contact the banks directly to clarify the situation. There could be misunderstandings or administrative errors that can be resolved through direct communication. Make sure to keep a record of all correspondences with the banks.
If direct communication does not resolve the issue, consider filing a formal complaint with the relevant regulatory bodies. In the U.S., this could include the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). These agencies oversee banking operations and can investigate complaints about financial institutions.
It's also advisable to consult with an attorney experienced in inheritance and financial disputes. They can provide legal advice specific to your situation, help you understand your rights, and guide you through the process of potentially recovering your assets.
Remember, acting promptly and keeping detailed records of all interactions and documents will be crucial in addressing this issue effectively. Legal guidance can offer the support and direction needed to navigate this complex situation.
