Chase's legal dept won't release funds to survivors
Our checking and savings accounts are with Chase and they have been managed well. However, our cousin who passed away also banked with Chase and we are listed as survivors and are to inherit some of his estate. Chase has refused to release the funds even when given a COURT ORDER from Probate. The attorney for our cousin's account and the probate lawyers are asking Chase's legal department to tell them what the reason for the holdup is, but Chase wants to hold on to the money and REFUSES to tell them anything. The legal department refuses to speak to them. This behavior is unconscionable - and Chase prolongs the grieving and difficulties of the remaining family with this obstinate, uncooperative behavior. It is a tiny estate, yet Chase will not work with the attorneys who are in the process of pursing a contempt of court judgment against Chase.
