A relative set up UGMA accounts for my sons, 10 and 15, with herself as
the custodian.  The relative has since passed away.  The accounts are in
the form of CDs. 

We have the CDs, but the bank says we can't cash them unless we "petition
the court" to be named custodian for my younger son, and unless my older
son does his own petition.

We live in Massachusetts and the relative lived in Minnesota.  The bank is
in Minnesota.  Which court do we petition and what's the format for doing
this?
