<prompt> Human: I have NO IDEA where to even post this, so Im starting here. My ex died. Mildly autistic 19-year-old son is executor. Only talked to his dad a couple times a year. Its been 8 months and were finding money in dribs and drabs. A bank suggested we just start calling every single bank in this state where hes from and his state where he worked and died. Been getting voting proxy statements from stock places. Is there something more proactive we can do than just wait for mail? Its frustrating!If I should put this in another place, please let me know.  <response>: That is a tough spot to be in. I know you mentioned it has been 8 months, but if you still have your exs stuff from his home, going through all the paperwork in there that you can get your hands on, while long and boring, can turn into a fountain of information. Old statements, financial advisor business cards, an ATM receipt, etc, can lead you quicker to the accounts he had.Call the employer he worked at when he died and ask if there was any life insurance through his work. Also, ask them if they have a credit union attached to their work, as many employees will use it.Search for unclaimed property of his that has been turned over to the state hereIf you have not been able to locate his bank accounts, then the suggestion to call many banks in the state may be something to consider. If you are getting voting statements for stocks, then calling the main brokerages may be something to do as well.
