VerifiedHello: My name is ***** ***** I am an attorney.
If I understand you correctly, the bank account that has the CDs names you and your two brothers as beneficiaries. And the bank is refusing to issue your shares has co-beneficiaries unless the bank can release it to all of you. Is that correct?
You are welcome.
