Q: I believe my grandparents business was taken from them after they died. How do I find out

A: Start with the Ky Secretary of State and tack down all their business filings. THen go to IRS and/or Ky Revenue Cabinet to obtain all tax filings. That should set you on the right path to determining what happened with their business.

A: To find out what happened to your grandparents' business and assets after they passed away, you can take the following steps:

1. Obtain a copy of their death certificates from the vital records office in the county where they died.

2. Search for probate records at the county courthouse where your grandparents lived. Probate records will show how their assets, including the business, were distributed after their deaths.

3. If your grandmother filed for bankruptcy, you can search for her bankruptcy records using the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, which is available online. You'll need to create an account and pay a small fee to access the records.

4. Contact the bankruptcy court where your grandmother's case was filed and request copies of the relevant documents, including the final report of the trustee (Robert Cochran, in this case).

5. Consult with an attorney specializing in probate and bankruptcy law to help you understand the legal documents and determine if any improper actions were taken during the probate or bankruptcy processes.

6. Use the account number on the tax permits to request information from the relevant tax authorities about the business's tax history and any changes in ownership.

Keep in mind that the process of uncovering the details of your grandparents' business and assets after their deaths may be complex and time-consuming. It's essential to gather as much documentation as possible and seek professional legal assistance if needed.
