DEAR AMBERWAVE:

For what reason would you want to do the research on this account? If you are trying to claim more money on behalf of the estate, that would be a waste of time, since as joint account owner, he was entitled to make withdrawals from this account at any time before or after your mother's death.

SINCERELY,

advisor
