My father died XX/XX/XXXX. I am his sole heir. He had given a power of attorney to a friend who helped him manage his affairs. XX/XX/XXXX, that friend received a letter from Santander Bank stating that my father 's bank account had been inactive for more than three years and that the bank would have to remit the funds in the account to the Massachusetts Treasurer 's Abandoned Property Department unless the bank was contacted. The friend forwarded the letter to me. I called the bank 's customer service number and was instructed to mail to the bank 's " fulfillment department '' my father 's death certificate and an affidavit stating I was the sole heir. I mailed those items on XX/XX/XXXX and have followed up that mailing with XXXX faxes of the same material. The bank will not acknowledge the correspondence. I have called the bank 's service center each time before sending a fax. The service representatives state that they do not have a phone number for the " Fulfillment Department ''.
