Your first step is to petition the local Surrogate's Court for letters of administration over your father's estate. You may have to complete a similar procedure for your mother's estate. After that, you'll probably need to contact the State Comptroller, Dept of Unclaimed Funds. Feel free to contact my office for a brief complimentary consultation.
