what is a broker confirmation letter?
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.
