After locating it the librarian over at Queensboro informed me that they should also have "attachments" to the letter of administration or a "bond" which would allow me to find out what happened to the estate. When I went back to the Surrogates court they didn't seem interested in helping me. When I asked how I could find those records ...all they had to say was "you would know better than us". Maybe I am just not asking for the right thing. Would anyone know what I am talking about and how I can locate these records. thanks.
