What do you do about a sibling that will not take his portion of his inheritance?
Dad died last year. When handling accounts most were set with TOD/beneficiaries for ease of handling at the end. There was no real estate, trusts and it was a small/moderate sized estate. Upon dad's passing a couple of things could be handled by the executor. For the TOD/beneficiary accounts I made the calls to secure paperwork for all beneficiaries. Everything has been done except . . . this one.
I have tried emphasizing the importance of cashing the small IRA before the end of the year to avoid any tax penalties. There is a mutual fund that needs to be re-registered or cashed. The mutual fund requires a sig guarantee.
These two things are easy enough. This individual is well educated and has the ability to handle financial transactions. He lives over six hours from any of us so a quick visit is not easy. He just won't complete the paperwork. Any suggestions to get this done before the end of the year?
