There is no central repository for unclaimed funds.
Don't be fooled by sites offering searches of a single unclaimed property database.
Each state maintains its own
lost money list.
|
 |
|
Search for unclaimed money in each state where family
members have lived or worked, as well as popular
corporate domiciles like New York and Delaware. |
|
Check all variations of your name, including maiden and previous married names, middle
names, initials, even nicknames and common misspellings.
Do the same for deceased friends and relatives - you may be entitled to an unclaimed inheritance. |
|
Family members are often
unaware they're entitled to collect unclaimed money owed deceased
relatives, who passed
on without leaving an updated will or complete financial records. |
|
Billions of dollars in
unclaimed money is held by federal agencies
(US Savings Bonds, IRS refunds, Social Security and VA benefits, etc.)
which is not included in state unclaimed property databases. |
