Wife's mother had a variable rate retirement certificate with Pathway Financial out of Chicago. We googled the name of the institution and ended up on an FDIC website where it was shown to have merged with another institution, then another and another...finally ending with Citibank. The certificate was issued in 1983 for a small amount of money. We have an account number. Her mother died unexpectedly in 1997. Any advice on this?

Executer of the estate should handle it. HMB

Joe,

I've never heard of that type of certificate. Google returned some entries that looked like variable rate CDs. Have you called Citibank to ask about the account? They should be able to help. Also, the Illinois Banking Commission might also be of help, if the FDIC got involved because of a bank insolvency.

Wife is executor of the estate. She missed this one.

Certificate has printed on it:

"Variable rate retirement certificate"

Also has typed in under the account number:

"**PATHWAY FINANCIAL AS TRUSTEE UNDER THE U.S.LEAGUE FORM 5305 INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT TRUST ACCOUNT. (mother's name)**"

Will follow up with as suggested. Thanks.

Rich, that website runs you through a ton of questions for promotions. Not interested.
