[WSBAPT] Beneficiary Being Left In the Dark

[samuel at meylerlegal.com]

Listmates,

 

Grandmother passes away in 2020.  Granddaughter gets a call from uncle
saying we need your name and contact information because you are a
beneficiary.  Time goes by and granddaughter hears nothing.  Granddaughter
makes inquiry by email and text, asking for information as to what is going
on, a case number if probate is opened, the name of the attorney handling
it, etc.  She is given the cold shoulder.  She has heard from other family
members that there was some sort of a dispute between some of the family but
no one is giving her any information.  Two years later and she has not
received anything.  

 

Granddaughter does not know if there was a will, a trust or if grandmother
died intestate.  The situation is a bit strange to me because they reached
out to her first and then disappeared on her.  What are your thoughts and
how would you approach this?  Thanks.


Sam
