Late Ex-husband's Pension Was Deposited In His Bank Account For 6 Years After His Death. I'm The Beneficiary. I Want To Claim The Money
Location: California He was not a great guy and moved to Arizona after our divorce. He had this pension deposited at a BofA in Arizona. He passed a year after our divorce.
I am the named beneficiary of this monthly pension and claimed it a few months ago. I've been receiving it ever since. The pension is through a labor union.
The bank account was closed due to inactivity a year ago. I tracked it down to Arizona's Unclaimed Property Office. It asks for a will, which he didn't have, and it asks if I'm the next of kin, which I am not. I want to try getting it because there's at least $30K that would have been deposited after his death.
I'm guessing I was named as his wife in this bank account. He had a hard time accepting the divorce and never listed himself as divorced anywhere. I'm guessing he was listed as married on his Arizona death certificate. I can't see that due to being divorced. He has a sister who is living and I don't want to contact her.
I'm not sure if I can do anything on my own to claim this saved pension funds. If not, which type of attorney would I get? Should I hire one in California or Arizona?
