If the account is in your name, you are the only person authorized to act. You have to contact the stock company that issued the checks and report this.
Have you contacted the police?
You should have a stand-still order from the Probate court that bars such action. You may also have a contempt action against him.
I assume that you are represented by an attorney?
As to the benefit or taxable event, this depends on how you file your income tax returns.
This is also an issue that should be raised in any property distribution action in the probate and family court.
This is a complicated issue and you are welcome to contact me about this and your options.
