<p class="MsoNormal">The last time we did this, we filled out the forms for the client, they took them to a local bank where they had an account for the Medallion Guarantee. I don’t think internet banks can issue Medallion Guarantees. Then we had to FedEx the
bonds to the Treasury in Minneapolis to redeem them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>One caution</u>: those bonds are probably about ½ principle investment and ½ earned interest. When they are cashed in they generate a ton of interest income. Be sure your client understands that. He may want to just have them deposited
into a Treasury Direct account (no more paper bonds) and just cash in the bonds as needed or when they mature. He can then name beneficiaries to the Treasury Direct account saving this process (I think) upon his death.<o:p></o:p></p>
