Unclaimed funds consist of items such as
- bank accounts

and many other items that have been turned over to the states unclaimed property division.

The list of reasons is almost limitless.
The State of Alabama has operated an unclaimed money program since 1971. However, it only been a part of the Treasurer’s Office since 1996. The unclaimed money departments role is to:
(1) act as a consumer protection agency for individuals and businesses with unclaimed money
(2) indemnify businesses and allow them the opportunity to avoid the liability and expense of maintaining this money on their books
(3) promote awareness of the unclaimed money program and
(4) receive, evaluate & pay unclaimed money claims accurately and efficiently.
Since taking over the unclaimed money program in 1996, the Alabama Treasury’s office has returned over 345,000 claims.
Over $125 million has been returned by the State of Alabama to it’s rightful owners or their heirs in the past five years. The average claim amount was $1,465.33.

My brother has passed away. He has unclaimed money held by State of Alabama. I’m his sister and the only heir. Please inform me what to do.
Ann,
You need to go to https://alabama.findyourunclaimedproperty.com/ and enter his name there. There, you can enter your brothers name and if there, you will see his name come up.
Then you need to click the box on the left and click the “claim properties” tab at the bottom of the page.
It will take you to a page that says to either “Print Form” or “Request by Mail”.
This will start the claim process.
I can tell you you will need death certificate..copy of drivers license..affidavit of heirship or something by the probate in your county to prove you’re the rightful heir to his property. It’s a pain to go thru when no will has been made.

Different sites say i have unclaimed cash would like straight answer
I had got a letter from metabank saying that I have funds available. All I had to do is send a copy of my licence and social security card well I did but it didnt get to them. I call them and they said the state of Alabama will receive it because I had not claim it. Please let me know if I have funds ability. Everytime I go to the web site its tell me it might not be for real.
Sonketa,
I did a search in Alabama and it returned “zero” results using Sonketa Davis. It’s possible it is still in transit.
It’s a good idea to check the site every once in a while anyway, so you should check it again in a month or two. If it is still not there, you might want to follow up with them (the state) directly as well as metabank again.
I would like to know if I got any unclaimed money please.
