My husband mailed off a bunch of bonds to Pittsburgh to redeem. I got notified that they received them and they were signed for. How long does it take for them the actually process them and deposit the money into our account? We set it up for auto-deposit. Thanks.

Sandra - Legally the bond belongs to his estate and only his heir can cash the bond. Having him sign the back for you was legally meaningless. You'll need to discuss this with his wife and assuming she's his heir then only she can cash it.

I have a Series E Savings Bond worth $100.00. The Issue Date is Nov 1974. The name on the bond is in my ex-husband's name only(and he is now deceased). After our divorce, I had him sign the bond on the back. Recently I presented this bond to my bank, along with a copy of his death certificate. Bank personnel said they could not cash it and said that it should legally go to his present wife and if she agreed she could cash it for me. I'm sure she would agree to do this but is this method I should pursue or what would you suggest? Thanks for your advice.
