How would you find out if your parents left you anything if they died when you were a small child and you have

Answer 1

See if they have filed a will, it should technically be in the public record, and then see if you can view the will (I believe beneficiaries of a will have priority and may not need special permission to view it).

Answer 2

First speak with any relatives that you may have. Who raised you? They would definitely know if there were some type of inheritance. Check court records, death records are public. I am sure someone would know if there had been an insurance policy issued at the time. Where did your parents work? There are a lot of resources out there. You didn't say how old you are, I am suprised you wouldn't have this information if you were cared for by family members. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

You inherited their genes. Need to find out what kinds of medical history on both sides. As far as money, WHO was in charge when each parent passed away? Need to ask them because they would have worked on the funeral arrangements and probate. Some people don't write wills and then the state would get a chunk of the money because of that. Who took care of you after they passed? How was that determined (instructions from a will, family members, or county workers)? Did they own any real property, jewelry, life insurance policies? If so, what happened to it?

Even if it isn't really a lot, it would be nice to have something from your folks.

Answer 4

find their insurance policies the company should be able to give you some advice about that

Answer 5

Ask your relatives, see if you can find the executor of the will.

Answer 6

And you have, what? the court house should have their will on file.
