OK let's put this here, since a class action case is a business topic….
Anyone know whether a person's estate can claim the deceased person's share of a class action settlement?
Or…once they're dead is it too late…their share is lost back into the general pot for the others to share.
My deceased mom has been getting class action civil settlement notices.
Or to be more precise they've arrived 'addressed to her'….
Notice doesn't say whether her share would be 50 cents, 50 dollars -- or 5-thousand dollars.
She's been passed away almost two years.
Thanks in advance. I'll call the lawsuit attorney, but wanted to do some research first, to have some idea of whether I'd get the truth or not. I don't want to get blown off IF her estate could still get a share (that's worth all the trouble of course.)
