Start at MissingMoney.com, the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators search used by most states.
Forgotten assets
Unclaimed property
Banks, insurers, employers, and utilities must turn over dormant accounts to the state. The treasurer keeps a public list. Searching is free. Paying a finder is optional.

State of last residence
Also search the treasurer site for every state where you, a parent, or a business lived or banked. Names and old addresses both matter.

Federal leftovers
Check Treasury unclaimed assets, savings bonds on TreasuryDirect, and the IRS for uncashed refunds.
How a claim works
- Search your legal name, previous names, and a deceased relative if you are the heir.
- Open the official state claim form from the treasurer — not a look-alike paid site.
- Prove identity with a government ID and, for inherited funds, a death certificate and relationship papers.
- Wait for the state to review. Timelines vary. There is usually no fee to claim your own property.
This page does not hold a private database of accounts. It only points to the government offices that do. Treat any site that charges to “find” money you can search yourself as optional.
