I Need a Legit Hacker

Probably an easy hack but I have no skills in this department.

Just the short end first - Mother died 3 years ago and we are finding out from friends she had multiple bank accounts and a safe deposit box my stepfather knew nothing about. I've had no luck in any searches. She had a gmail account that my stepfather now trolls but doesn't really use (He is like Fred Flinstone when it comes to technology) and a FB account that is still up but but not in use. I'm convinced everything I need is in one of the two.

Why not just ask google for assistance.

FYI, access to accounts like that are almost always obtained via social engineering. Knowing your mom's personal information (last four of social, DOB, family members/dogs/favorite things, etc.) would be about the only way anyone could help you. Armed with those things, you'd have just as good of a chance as anyone around here. Nobody here's gonna know how to backdoor their way into the Facebook "mainframe" and decrypt a password like an '80s movie savant.

Already went that route and they were no help. Same with FB even though I have legit credentials showing she has actually passed away.

Well I wasn't sure but now I know. Thanks for the info.

Isn't this what an estate attorney is for?
So your step father has access to the gmail account? You can't just ask him to give you access?
I don't have a FB account but I doubt people have banking info on their facebook page.

Yup, this was a last resort to find out what we could on our own. Everything will have to go through the lawyers now. Thinking we are dealing with a greed factor with the stepdad even though this is more money than he could or would spend at the age of 77. The FB account wouldn't give me financial info but could lead to which attorney did the will (My mother worked with hundreds of lawyers and politicians over 30 years). Could also give us clues to which friend she confided in about which bank she used other than her main bank.

Knowing which state she lived in will get you more specific answers about the bank accounts etc.
Federal and state laws say inactive accounts must be turned over to an overseer agency. The length of inactive time may vary.
Also, businesses should periodically check against the Social Security Death Index. Three years is about time for the notice of her death to be disseminated everywhere.
Again, post her state of residence here and someone may give you a direct link to that state's unclaimed property division.
Name index to deaths recorded by the Social Security Administration beginning in 1962. Current as of February 28, 2014.

Thanks ATL!
It's Nevada and yes I've been checking in on the state Treasurers website regularly. We just never thought of starting this process until a month ago because of what we heard from friends.

Unclaimed Property Home
Click "Unclaimed Property" tab
Unclaimed Property Search
If you would like to search for properties in other states, go to missingmoney.com. There is no fee to file a claim or to search for property.
If I find more info, I will post here. Check back periodically.
If you need more help, post here. I sometimes have good luck finding information.
I have a friend who runs a credit union in Phoenix. I will ask her if she has any pointers.
P.S. Make sure your mother's name is in the Social Security Death Index which I linked to in my previous post!

The Foremost Authority on Unclaimed Property
Reporting UP Brochure
Nevada Abandoned Property
A financial asset for which there has been no owner activity for a specified period of time, usually three years (one year for payroll, utilities, and government agencies)
P.S. Is it possible she was never reported as deceased and your stepfather is still receiving her benefits? This happens a lot. You may have to take a death certificate to a Social Security office to see what is going on. You will need her birth date, date of death and her social security number. As well as her maiden name and the name she used when she was married to your father and her name at the time of death.
How old was she when she died and how old is your stepfather now.

Well, you are clever! I never thought of that. She was 62 and he is now 77.
BTW- I do have a copy of her Death Certificate.

Might be because someone is committing social security fraud.

Uhhhh, not sure that will help. If you find something, the husband will be the beneficiary with out a will saying otherwise
