I am a non resident alien, not living in the US. I inherited funds from a US stock exchange account after the owner died, but they could not wire it to a non US bank. THey can only wire to a US bank under my name, which I do not have. I can't open a bank account in the US in my name as they require SSN and what nots. Etransfers are also impossible. What options do I have?

So what brokerage is it? It's totally ok to state the name.– FattieOct 17, 2020 at 16:39

"but they could not wire it to a non US bank"
This is completely strange and bizarre.
They can and should send it anywhere you want. At worst - get a cheque.
Are you sure this isn't some scam?

No it is not a scam. The funds are still there. They say that due to FATCA, they have no collaboration with my country. I can get a check, but still would have to cash it in a US Bank, and they can't send abroad. I have seen others face the same problem.
