A Seattle couple who fled Nazi Europe leave an $847,000 inheritance in America.

The Petraseks, Seattle residents, had a cash receipt for $847,215.57 deposited into a U.S. Treasury Department account. Balkema said she was contacted by Ronald Wright, a neighbor of the late Peter Petrasek, just after his death in 2013. Wright was tasked with executing the will since the couple had no living relatives or children, and he hired Balkema to help.

ABC News has yet to receive a response to her voicemails from Ronald Wright. Balkema said she helped sell the house and the money from the sale became part of an $847,215.57 cash receipt for the government. Other money came from the couple's bank accounts, which contained funds from Peter's stock, which he realized.

Not much is known about the couple, but Balkema said Peter Petrasek ran awayto Ottawa, Canada, from Czechoslovakia, where he met his wife Joan, who was Irish, according to their neighbor. At some point in the late 1950s, the couple moved to the United States, Balkema added, noting that after his wife died, Peter Petrasek led a solitary life.
