Video Summary
How can I find bank accounts that were in my parents’ name after they pass away? Usually, the personal representative goes through their records to see if they can’t find account statements or any evidence of any these accounts in this day and time of electronic accounts and everything being paperless. Then you may wish to go through their computer and hopefully get their password to be able to check their computer to get electronic assets access to these bank accounts, or to be able to identify them. If you don’t have those resources or you can’t do that, or you haven’t identified any and you’re convinced that they had bank accounts or stock accounts, then you can employ a private investigator or an asset research firm to do a nationwide search for assets that were titled in their name, either in a brokerage account or bank accounts or whatever assets they own. Those searches usually run in the neighborhood of about 2,500 to $3,000 or maybe $3,500. If you have any questions, give me a call to (727) 847-2288.
