You're not likely to get much realistic help in a Forum like this.
You might find it advisable to get the death certificate and the titles to these bonds by consulting your lawyers first because they could, otherwise, end in a dispute.
Merry Christmas!!!!

Depends on maturity on the bond. if they have already matured (ie expired) they are worth $100 and will not increase any more. If they have not matured yet, then they are still earning interest. you can find the valuations here:

But if you have 50, and they are worth $100, then the most you could have is $5000. And remember, once it has reached maturity, it stops earning interest and cannot increase in value.

The following website has a calculator to figure bond values. You will need the bond serial numbers. Go to http://wwws.publicdebt.treas.gov/BC/SBCPrice
