with having a power of attorney I think.
The owner of the policy can change beneficiaries at any time. The owner can also determine whether to continue making premium payments, take a policy loan, or take back the cash value of the policy. If the primary beneificiary died there may no longer be a need to keep the policy. You can change beneficiaries, or cash out the policy.
If the owner of the savings bonds has died, then the bonds are inherited by the beneficiary, unless the beneficiary has also died in which case the bonds go to the estate of the beneficiary. If you don't want the bonds to be inhertied by the named beneficiary or the estate of the beneficiary, I would like to know what legal basis you have for taking control of those bonds. We already know that you are neither the owner (who has died) nor the beneficiary. So what is your claim based upon? I doubt that you have any legal basis to change the benefciary.
The forms are online, or can be mailed to you at http://www.savingsbonds.gov/NC/FoRMSHome?site=indiv&FormType=sbf or call 800-553-2663. You are after the "Owner Deceased With Administration Forms" or "Owner Deceased Without Adminitration Forms" If there was an administrator or executor of her estate, that person has to make the claim.
