What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NJ
My father had no real permanent address, but on his death cert was NJ just to make things easier with having him buried in the NJ State Veterans Cementary because that is where the services were held and it is where he grew up.
My father did not leave a will and his only asset was a bank acct in NM where he received his SS and VA Benefits. His wifes name (my mother) was not an this account and I am trying to get access to this $3,000 to pay for funeral expenses that werent covered by the VA. Glancing at his credit report, he also had many other bills.
Is it worth it to try and obtain this money? I dont want my mothers credit to be affected or do not want to go through the trouble of getting the money just to see it gobbled up by the creditors.
