The tradition of giving someone a savings bond as a gift has largely disappeared since all purchases must now be done electronically. As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds are no longer issued by the U.S. Treasury although millions of Americans still hold previously issued paper savings bonds. Typically, a savings bond cannot be cashed in shortly after purchase. For example, a purchaser of the I or EE Savings Bonds must hold the bond for one year before being allowed to cash it in and an early redemption penalty applies if redeemed before 5 years.
The short answer is you can't sell old savings bonds. If the bonds are in your name, you take them to the bank and cash them as though they are checks. If they're NOT in your name, you need to return them to their rightful owner.
Depends on the type of bonds. Your savings bond should say whether it's when you reach 18 or if there's a special cash in date stipulation.
Savings Binds have to mature for years before they are at their full value. Once they have matured you can either cash them in for their face value, or save them and allow them to collect interest.
The executor of the estate should be able to apply to cash the savings bond in and provide the money to you.
