Way cool! Nothing for me, but two hits for my late in-laws. DH and I will be digging out their death certificates this weekend so he can file. Thanks for posting these links!!!

At least here, my credit union will notarize documents for free for members, so it’s even cheaper to get your money.

Yes! My thoughts exactly, it is your money so why not get it? I got a document notarized at a UPS store for $2 and two minutes. Unless it’s $2.44 (notarization fee plus a stamp), I still win and get my cash.

I work in Payroll, so I am the one who has to turn in unclaimed salaries.

I then decided, to run my name at the State Website. I not only found money for myself (about $200, health insurance) I found money for about 25 relatives and co-workers. I should have charged a finders fee!

The biggest problem I had with my relatives was they thought it was a fraudulant website. It took a quite a bit convince them it was a State website and that I use it (for my job) to turn in money.

You would also be surpised at a few friends that I found and their (now deceased) relatives popped up. ALL decided NOT to persue it. It was too much to have the paper notarized and get money. I try to tell them, I don’t care if its $5, it’s YOURS! If it is wages, you have already paid taxes on it!

Claim your money! Also if you have lived in other states, check their websites as well.

A quick check of the Florida site uncovered one for myself and my wife, @$200. It’s not much, but that sounds like a new XBox to me.

Oh – and $100 that belonged to my late grandmother. I’m sending the link to my parents so they can claim the money as Grandma’s legal heirs.

I found a bit of money for myself, my dad, and my uncle. Not bad!

I haven’t looked in awhile and I found $20 for myself. See how it turns out.

Do people ever find anything with these? I look every few years and there’s never anything for me, or any of my family. I guess that means I’m more careful about making sure I get what’s mine, but I have to wonder….

I know there has to be something in the database or the pages wouldn’t exist. Maybe the intersection of people who knows about these pages and those who are owed money isn’t very big?

I remember doing this back then….still no dice this time around. Maybe that’s a good thing?

Well, didn’t find anything for myself or any relatives. Thanks for posting the links!

My brother checked a few years back and found an old bank account of my mother’s (who died 20 years earlier). The paperwork was more complicated since her executor was no longer alive and all the heirs (4) had to complete the claim forms, but it worked out and we collected about $900.

I’ve found stuff for relatives before, but they never bothered to follow through with it. I wish I had some money that I could find!

I thought I might have found my sister some money but no dice. Massachusetts got back to her within a week so that’s pretty good turnaround time regardless.
