What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My grandmother passed away over 3 years ago. She had a joint bank account with my mother. Before she passed she wanted my mom to split whatever was in there between her and her 2 sisters which was approximately $10K, there was also cash that she had stashed away in a closet that she wanted them to have.
Her younger Husband at that time took all of the cash after her death and said he needed the money for bills. He also kept away then moved from my family because it was learned that he was seeing my grandmother's home care attendant. When he left he took the passbook with him. My mother beleives he also emptied out her bank accounts but I dont agree. Could he have taken the money although the account was in both their names?
Thanks for your advice.
