My father, Vic, died in 2007, his wife Bett died in 2009. The attorney that wrote my father's will has also died. My oldest sister, Joy, is executor of the will and has power-of-attorney for my Dad.
My father's 4 daughters are the beneficiaries of everything according to his will. Bett was always annoyed about this, though her own assets were double my Dads. Bett & her daughter, Jan, are very weird when it cames to money. Bett even cut off her own son and grandson over a money. She didn't mention my Dad (they were married 18 years) or her son in the Death Noice nor the eulogy (Bett planned her own funeral to the last detail.)
The daughter has asked Joy for my Dad's death certificate. This makes us suspicious that there may be assets that we are unaware.
I see "asset investigators" on the internet, but I don't know if any of them are reliable. We'd like to researched my father's bank acounts, CDs, savings, IRAs, retirement acounts, life insurance and/or anything I'm not thinking of. They are probably mostly in Connecticut.
What would be the best way to investigate? Are there any online places that I could do investigations myself for free or little charge? Can anyone attest to one of these investigators that are really good and not horribly expensive? Or, if there are none of the former, where an we find a good investiator despite the price?
Thanks,
