What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
My father died over 10 years ago at age 90. He was in a nursing home and had only his SS income and owned nothing. My brother handled his affairs as I was deployed overseas at the time and could only come back to the States for a few days. We were his only living relatives. While doing some online research, I discovered that my dad has a very small unclaimed account of less than $200 ( which includes over 10 years worth of interest) owed to him. I cannot find any letter of testamentary among the papers my brother had. My brother is now deceased and had never married or had any children.
I took the death certificate to the court house and asked about the Testamentary letter and they said it would cost $153. I thought the Testamentary letter was given at no cost or perhaps a small fee. I have the one we got for my Mom when she passed away 12 years ago. How do I get one for my Dad?
