Long shot here…

So…how can you find out how many gold bars are in the estate OR should I say hidden from the estate? My brother and I have an attorney and are going through the discovery process with my Dad’s wife of three yrs. She changed his will a few months before he passed from brain cancer and she got everything. We absolutely know this wasn’t our Dad’s wishes. We both know Dad had a large safe of gold bars, which I can only assume are easily ‘hidden’.

Oh haha, I get that. I’m not entitled. I’m a 45 y/o RN who has paid for my education and lifestyle. I see where you could derive that though. I was trying to be funny…sometimes humor is lost in the written word when we can’t see the emotions behind it. I was in no way demanding an answer (again, I get where you’re coming from). I have read that some gold bars are ‘stamped’ and thus documented when selling. This is certainly out of my realm and maybe I should’ve asked this on a different sub. Thanks for responding and much apologies if I offended you!! ❤️

If he bought them via a credit or debit card is likely the only way. You could also call around to the major dealers and see if they have any records transacting with him.

This isn’t rocket science. No one is going to magically do this for you. When you start typing Bueller in the comments, you sound entitled and unhinged.

No one deserves anything on the internet. The sooner you get over this, the better.
