It is way too late to have the decedent's estate redeem the bonds ... they should be paid in your name ... seek local assistance ...
How do I redeem my HH or H bonds?
Your local bank or other financial institution cannot redeem HH or H bonds.
However, the bank can help you by
certifying or guaranteeing your signature on FS Form 1522 (download or order)
sending the bonds, FS Form 1522, and any supporting documents (if needed), to Treasury Retail Securities Site, P.O. Box 214, Minneapolis, MN 55480-0214.
We pay your HH or H bonds through direct deposit.
If you are not listed as the owner or co-owner on the bond, you must show that you are entitled to redeem the bond.
