Beneficiary on CD
My uncle setup a CD with me as the ITF. He passed away recently and I called the bank to confirm what information they needed and they informed me that I was not listed as the beneficiary and would not divulge any information related to the changes that were made to the CD. I have old account statements and a signed letter that he wrote me when he setup the CD. What recourse do I have?

If you are no longer the beneficiary, you don't have much recourse.

sounds like he changed the beneficiary without telling you. He had every right to do so, if he wanted to.
