When I was a wee lad my wealthy grandparents set me up a college fund (I think it’s either a 529 or a Coverdell but I’m not 100% sure) to the tune of roughly $200,000. I am now 20 years old and have a stable job and am not in college, nor am I planning to go back.
When my grandparents died I assume that the account owner became my father, with whom I don’t have the best relationship. I think you can see where the problem lies.
My question is: What can I, as the beneficiary of the account (not the owner) do to assure that the funds in that account that were meant for me go to me? I don’t necessarily believe my father will do anything malicious with the funds, but I want to make sure that I’m receiving them. I don’t have any of the paperwork or any details of the account, because he refuses to discuss it.
How do I “find” the account just knowing that it’s out there? (I’m pretty sure I know which bank it’s in)
