Finding Lost Money - 8 billion is
being held is some of it yours?
Trying to settle an estate can be very difficult if you
aren't sure where all the bank accounts are, or even if the person owned stock
or a safety deposit box. Every state has an office that collects money that has been abandoned,
forgotten, or left unclaimed including:
-
Savings and checking account
-
Un-cashed payroll or cashiers checks
-
Money orders and travelers checks
-
Certificates of deposit
-
Paid up life insurance policies
-
Health and accident insurance payments
-
Stock and dividends and much more
According to reports, state agencies across the U.S. may be
holding over 8 billion dollars in abandoned money. Although rules vary from
state to state, generally after two or more years without activity on an
account, the bank will try to contact you. If their efforts fail, the property
is considered abandoned and transferred to the state of your last known address.
To locate funds, contact the unclaimed property office in the state (usually
part of the state treasurer's department) where you or your benefactors have
lived or conducted business. Most state agencies have web sites and many have
searchable databases. You can contact the National Association of Unclaimed
Property Administrators, P.O. Box 7156, Bismarck, ND 58507. Or go to the
Web site at:
