Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am 53 years old and lost my job and have to sell my home. 13 years ago my Father passed away after living with me for 13 years. I discovered in his old paperwork that there was an account with over $70,000 with my name on it that I did not know about. It had my maiden name on it. I was not living at that address at the time of my Fathers death. Through some old estate attorney notes, I realized that he knew a check was sent to me at my old address with my maiden name. He told my Mother who hates me for having my Father live with me. My Mother accused me of stealing money after my Father passed away. I did not know what she was talking about. I was married and very successful on my own. Several years after my Father passed away, my Mother came up with a $70,000 check and claimed she did not know where it came from and distributed it to some of my Brothers and Sisters. My question is, can I access bank records from 1996? I notified the State of Illinois to check if unclaimed funds were sent to them in the years 1996-1998. I need advise........Thanks and God Bless for Your Help!

Go back to the estate attorney who originally sent the check out.
