I am a newbie to this site and looking for information.  Has anyone else had as bad an

experience dealing with Edward Jones as we have?  I am beginning to think once they get your money they NEVER TURN LOOSE.  We are trying to settle an estate and the account has been frozen for months.  Everytime we produce one document, they want yet another and another until it is getting absolutely ridiculous.

C’mon, Spears.

Thanks, guess that is my next step.  I even called the home office and they

all but hung up on me.

We have a valid will with no need to probate, but a certified copy of a properly filed Munument of Title was provided.   Now, in addition, they are requiring an attorney drafted Affidavit of Heirship.   We live in Texas.

having a will only = probate.  The lesson here is not EDJ is bad, its everyone with some assets should have a trust.
