The two children of my sister Beatrice and Susan Stern 16 and 13 years old, are now residents of the United States and are living with me. I their interest I would like to file the claims to which purpose I need the necessary forms. I would very much appreciate you sending me these froms. I shall also be very grateful to you for advising me whether your office has vested any property belonging to the Deutsche Bank and whether my two nieces are eligible claimants of a debt claim.
