New York, NY
Hello,
My late dad (US Citizen) held a brokerage account with Smith Barney in New York, he left behind 4 children and a spouse as survivors. I am having a real hard time figuring out what the procedures are to move on with splitting the cash & stocks held in his account between the 5 of us. I would like to know if this is something simple enough that i could take care of it on my own (if so please provide some guidance on the proper procedures) or if a should hire a lawyer? The account is not big and that's all that he had.
I would also like to speak to Smith Barney's legal department see if they can help, however i could not find a telephone number to reach them (i am currently overseas and i cannot dial 1-800)
Any help & tips are greatly appreciated
