Did you get my follow up question? I just wanted to be clear

Did you get my follow up question? I just wanted to be clear that I can get a trustee bond even though the trust is close to 3 million dollars without being employed, and that is doesn't matter that we moved out of state? I am just scared because the first question on the bond questionnaire was about my employment.
I am am a widow and mother of two children. my husband died

I am am a widow and mother of two children. my husband died five years ago, and left a trust in which all three of us are beneficiaries. I was trustee and signed it over to another person who is not named in the trust document. The judge ordered that the substitute trustee only be bonded for five years. After five years it is up to me if he were to be re-elected. I am instead trying to reinstate myself. No one is contesting my decision, but I am afraid that the judge will order me to have to be bonded as trustee because when the trust came into effect we were in VA. I since moved to PA. My concern is that if a judge orders that I be bonded, will I qualify? I have no criminal history or bad credit, but I am living off the trust income and social security. I am not employed. Can someone who is not employed be eligible to be bonded?
I am the sole heir (only child) of my parents. They both passed

I am the sole heir (only child) of my parents. They both passed away 15 years ago. I now found out that my father is owed $1500 through an old FHA/HUD determination. I have his death certificate, and can get the necessary county recorders info, etc but I have no will. How can I prove that I am the heir and entitled to this $ without a will?
