In the morning I called my bank three times about the SWIFT code. I talked with the different three bank operator, but nobody could provide me with the SWIFT code information. The three of them provided me with the ABA number instead.
I did some more internet research and finally found the useful information. My bank uses the intermediate bank in NY. The money will be sent to the intermediate bank in NY, then my bank’s headquarter in TX, and then will forwarded the recipient’s individual bank account.
I emailed the accountant about this information.
About 1 p.m., the accountant emailed me that money was just sent.
As for my mom’s inheritance division, I gave up my lawful right of 25% and compromised to receive only 1.8%. I feel sad to know my dad’s true face regarding this procedure. Compared with my mom who was generous and thoughtful, my dad acted completely opposite from my mom.
After my mom passed away, I fully understand how supportive my mom had been for my family; my dad, my brother, and me. Without her, my Japanese family does not function as a happy family anymore.
