Re: WHeRE IS THE MONEY

How do you know that he left the stocks to your children? Did he give you anything in writing? If you know the name of the brokerage firm, call them to see whether your friend named your children as pay on death beneficiaries. If you do not know the name of the company, you may have to do some tedious research. Normally, the company should contact the beneficiaries when it learns of the account owner's death.
