My uncle passed away leaving his house and some US treasury bonds. The bonds do not have a beneficiary but me and my sister are the only beneficiaries under our uncles will. The problem is that my uncle's house is not worth much as if we sell the house there would be a loss. My question is whether we need to tell the bank that my uncle had treasury bonds? If so will they go after them? If we dont tell the bank about the bonds would that be fraud on our part and could we get in trouble? What should we do.
