What is the name of your state? Maine
When I was 14 my dad died, & the life insurance policy he had through his work for $25,000 was left to me. My mother & I went to the courthouse here & talked to somebody about what I wanted to do with the money, which was put it in a CD until I was 18 so then I could use it for college & a vehicle. There was another meeting with the same person at the courthouse that I never got to go to because of school, so I have no idea what was decided about the money.
Since then, my mother & I have not been on speaking terms, & a few months back my grandmother told me that my mother had put it in a college only account, but then later on she told me that my mother might have it in a bank account (& may be spending it).
I'm turning 18 next month & I have no information about the life insurance policy. My question is, is there any way that I can find out about the life insurance policy & what happened to the money? & is there a possibility that my mother could've spent the money?
Please help!
