The best way to redeem savings bonds is at your bank/financial institution.

• The bank will cash them for anyone who is a legal person authorized to cash them.

• If this is a deceased person, are you the one who has legal rights to the bonds?
• Sometimes this can be complicated and the bank can answer all questions about cashing the bonds.
• If they are not able to cash the bonds then you will most likely have trouble trying to complete and file Form 5336.
• This form, under the circumstances you state, may take several days or weeks if something has to be verified as to who is the legal recipient.

Here are a couple of links that give very good instructions on how to cash these bonds as well as dealing with who may be a legal recipient.
