Checking account Deposits and withdrawals Delaware

Death in family occurred. Prior to her death, our mother had requested that her IRA to be closed with - - and funds to be sent to her. While waiting for her request to be processed she passed away and the requested funds where received at her current address, which was the address of her daughter who was taking care of her. Additionally, her daughter was executor of Mothers estate/affairs. The previously request Check was received in her name and due to her death was deposited by daughter into her primary account since her mother had passed away. Initially the deposit was reflected in the account, however several days later M & T fraud called with questions. After further explanation we were told by M & T bank that an estate account would need to be opened and the now frozen funds would be moved into account upon all correct documentation being provided. Daughter went into local branch and provided the requested documentation to open account ( short certificate, death certificate etc. ) the new account was opened as requested. We then as requested, notified Fraud Unit of the successful opening of the Estate account. After several days we again


- account so the information we had provided could be further verify. Verification was completed and our information that was provided was validated and upon the check being issued per the deceased request, the account was now closed. M & T still holding the issued funds had now changed process again for funds to be released and deposited. They were now requiring - - to request the check back after it was deposited and cashed. - - was willing to do so with a letter request from M & T stating " deposit was made in error without proper endorsement. " Additionally, - - would redeposit the check in question back into the now closed account to force the account to be reopened and re-send the check however M & T needed it to be sent to be deposited into the account. To date, there still has been no movement for the funds to be deposited back into our account in which we are currently at over 3 weeks with no resolution. Multiple calls made to Fraud area with request for update and we continue to be given a different story or I ca n't speak for the " Retail Bank '' and where they are in the Resolution of your situation. We simple would like our funds to be deposited as they should be so we can pay for the burial expense of our Mother. We have been extremely patient but our patience has come to an end. We are turning to the CFPB for help with resolution of this issue before we will need to get our Attorney involved. Thank You
