During the estate administration process we check for assets being held by the state’s unclaimed property department. Surprisingly, we find a an asset or two for a large percentage of estates that the executor can claim. Sometimes these are small things, like a reimbursement check from cancelled magazine subscription, but sometimes the assets are substantial. We have listed the unclaimed property sites for all 50 states below, take a look and see if anything is waiting for you!
