Re: award money not forwarded to credit union or guardian

If the child is a minor, the money should be deposited in a blocked account. Perhaps the attorney disbursed the money to the guardian to deposit. Your note is unclear. If you can't reach the attorney and you have an legal interest in this matter, you can contact the State Bar and succinctly advise it of the issues you have. Good luck!
