How do I access suspended amounts? I’m in the page stating over/ under 100. I have families’ socials and all other data. I’m working multiple accts and thus desire to work by amounts.
Stephanie,
In my experience they are pretty protective of the actual numbers involved. I had the best luck going to the office in person with documents in hand showing I had the authority to receive or manage the funds. Even then they did not tell me the exact amount. But I ended up with enough info to determine what I wanted to pursue at that time. That is based on 3-4 trips there and feedback from a few others I guided in the process.
Thanks Rick Howell. In Tulsa. I Will just flood them with the appropriate documents. If I go and do you think I will get a little bit of a feel for what’s what?
In one case I took a limited POA authorizing me to act as an agent on the individuals behalf. I received enough info to determine it was worth doing an ancillary probate to secure the claim. In another I had POA for my grandmother and was filing to recover some funds due her. I inquired about another claim involving my mother who was also listed as having POA over my grandmother. Because of this connection, I received enough clues to determine where it came from and to allow my mother to bring the correct documents to handle it.
If you take a certified probate order, filed certified Memorandum of Trust, POAs, Death Certificate listing informant as an apparent heir (child-sibling), etc., I think you'll have some luck getting a bit of info. In one case I posed the question that the owners would incur $4-5K in expenses if they continued. Would the benefit outweigh the cost? They will likely need to process them before you'll get full info.
I really believe it is for fraud prevention more than anything. All of my direct interaction was 4-5 years ago. Some of the indirect feedback has been in the last 2 years.
