My father died 2 years ago and he had a CD at a bank we do not know which bank it was in but we do know for sure there was a CD. Is there a website that we can go to or how can we go about trying to track this CD down. We need this information for probate.

My father showed me the will about 6 months before he died my brother has yet to taken my dads death certificate to the clerk of the court to record and he was the one that took my dad to the bank something is not right and my mom doesn't know what is going on her memory is not that good but for some reason she is changing the will I guess because my brother is getting little shaky on questions being asked but this also can be interveined. And this CD has to be accountable for.

If there's a CD, he'll get mail just before the rollover date.
How many banks could there possibly be? Your mother bring her i.d. and can check, if she's the executor. If she goes to the main branch of each bank, they can tell her yes or no for all of the branches of that bank.
If your dad didn't want you to know, then you have no right to know.

Once the estate is in probate, the EXECUTOR has the power to get the information from the banks, for the estate.
If anyone else was on the CD, for example one of his other children, or ex-wife, I believe it would revert to them, as co-owner.
Just calling a bank and asking if it was there, is most likely not going to work, because of the privacy issues. There would have to be a legal reason to give the information, which is where the court appointed executor (whether from the will, or the judge himself chooses the executor) comes in. The have the legal right to the information.
