the next of kin would have been her nephew (my dad), and another nephew who was living in a foreign country at the time.
this nephew has reached out to me asking about the distribution since he didnt receive anything. my father passed away years ago, and although I was aware of this happening, i wasn't involved so don't know who got what. Is there a way to find out? I want to see if my great aunt had listed the land sale in her taxes to find out how much she made when she sold her property.
No idea where she banked but do know she purchased the property in the early 1900s. this was about 25,000 acres in colorado. just trying to figure out what happed.

This message is full of confusing dates.

Your great aunt died 15 years ago. This would be approx 2005.

She purchased the land in the early 1900s!

The subject is asking about a tax return from 1963.

She also says: "we just learned that..." but then later says, "although I was aware of this happening." Such a strange post.

Yes. I hope the uncle sues her and she incurs huge legal fees. Huuge.

Statute of limitations on fraud and contracts is up in ever state if she died in 1963. Even if your uncle can prove something he can't do anything about it.

How is this thread still on the first page. No, you probably can't get a dead lady's tax return from 60 years ago.

Most counties have real estate parcel data online. It might be possible to find the property and track the sale that way. Probably easier than trying to dig up tax return info.

However, agree that OP might not want to do any digging on this - though it does seem improbable that her relative would have any claim on her father's estate, since the father also passed away many, many years ago.

Pull the deeds.

You will never find the tax return copies (won't help anyway), look for deeds, probate, state unclaimed property in Colorado.

Why are you just looking for this now?
