There are many different ways these cases can go depending on who exactly took the money wrongfully. The wrongdoer can be a trustee, an executor, a guardian, another family member, or even the bank. Statutes of limitation are different in every state and may be different depending on who took it. Fraud is often a long statute of limitations but I would not hesitate in looking to hire an attorney. I would probably start with a trust and estate attorney in your area. They can likely focus the situation for you. Good luck! -John
