There are plenty of places to do a free unclaimed money search, starting with the unclaimed funds page on this site. There you can click on any of the states links to get more information.
You can also go to NAUPA.
NAUPA stands for the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. It is a non-profit organization affiliated with the National Association of State Treasurers and the Council of State Governments.
MissingMoney, a Web site officially endorsed NAUPA contains the official collective records from most state unclaimed money programs. NAUPA will link you to every state unclaimed money web site where you can search.
Both sites let you do your own free unclaimed money search.
There is absolutely no reason to pay anyone or any website a fee when you can do your own free unclaimed money search.
Most of these pay sites are just using lists that they get from the states anyway. The best thing to do is call any state that you may have lived or worked in yourself. You can find the states contact information using the map on the home page.
If you are still unsure about contacting the state, or just don’t have the time, you can enlist the services of an unclaimed money finder.
For a small fee, an unclaimed money finder can investigate for you and help you with the paperwork that you need. Most likely, it will be prepared for you and you will just need to sign some forms.
Do not pay an unclaimed money finder an upfront fee.. Any legitimate finder will do a search for unclaimed money and then charge a commission, after you are paid. Click here if you are interested in becoming an Unclaimed Money Finder yourself.

Pam B. says
The credit union in the town I live in informed me by mail that they reported my savings account I had there as unclaimed mn commerce property they informed me that I have to go thru the man unclaimed commerce property website to get my money. I used missingmoney.com and there is nothing in my name. I find this so ironic considering my address and phone number hav’t changed in 30 years, and they sent me the end of year account statement to my address (the statement is how I found out my monies had been turned over to mn unclaimed property). How do I get this money returned to me?
unclaimedfunds says
Pam,
Although most states submit data to missingmoney.com, not every one of them does.
These are the states and provinces that have currently submitted data:
Alabama, Alaska, Alberta Canada, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin
Even if you are in one of these states, it’s possible that it’s such a short period of time from the credit union submitting the information that it hasn’t had time to post on the site yet.
Your best course of action is to call the unclaimed funds department of the state you live in and speak to someone directly.

kathleen weller speer says
i had a friend leave something for me in her will.since she died i have remarriedhow would i go about finding if there was something in her will for me
unclaimedfunds says
Kathleen,
If there was money being held for you from that time, it would be under the name you had before you remarried. You would need to look for your name under that state. If there is nothing there, you can start looking at the various counties in that state and see if there is anything there. Finally, you may have to see if there is anything in the probate court in the county that she lived in. If you know her family, you may want to see if there was an estate lawyer involved that might have information for you. Good luck!

My husband died 15 years ago. He suppose to receive 60,000 dollars in
diability money he died right after that and never receive it.
Is it any way that I can get any anwsers about this money.
unclaimedfunds says
Linda,
Did you check with social security? If not, I would start with them. Then check any state he may have lived or worked in. The map on the home page will take you to the states unclaimed money department. If it takes you to a state with information on it, but not the official site, there will be a link somewhere on that page to take you to the official site.
Yvonne says
Please let me know if United StatesTreasury checks have any value after 25 years. I am an execator trying to settle an estate, and have found 4 uncashed Treasury checks with dates of 1989 and 1990. I need to know on the behalf of the deceaased owner before I can settle the estate. I will appreciate any information you ccan provide.
Thank you,
Yvonne
unclaimedfunds says
Yvonne,
You may want to check with the Treasury Department directly, but according to this, http://unclaimed-funds.org/support-files/Treasury-Checks.pdf, on page 5, any Treasury checks issued after October 1, 1989 are void after one year.
I hope this helps.
