Confirm a deceased person's investment details: Broker Confirmation Letter
What is a Broker Confirmation Letter?
If someone close to you has passed away and may have had investments, a Broker Confirmation Letter can help you figure this out. If you need to confirm that the deceased had stocks, bonds, or other investments, a Broker Confirmation Letter can help you quickly get that information.
Maybe you know they had an investment portfolio, or maybe you're not sure, you can get the details with a Broker Confirmation Letter. The last thing you probably want is to drown in paperwork or miss out on an inheritance that's rightfully yours. Not everyone leaves a detailed will with information about investments so figuring that out might be completely left to you. Luckily, there's a reasonably easy way to find out what, if any, investments the deceased has. A Broker Confirmation Letter can help you find out details about investments.
When to use a Broker Confirmation Letter:
- You need to confirm a decedent's ownership of stocks, bonds, or other investments.
- You want to obtain the values of the investments in the account as of the decedent's date of death.
