| The best way to start
the treasure hunt process is to take a moment and think
of any financial transactions you may have had that you
never followed up on or forgot about over time.
Chances are, you've had one of the
following transactions in your life.
- Life Insurance Proceeds
- Life Insurance Policy Dividends
or Cancellation Beneftis
- Stock Dividends
- Bond Payments
- Utility Bill Deposits
- Tax Refunds
- Payroll Deductions
All it takes is for you to overlook
the cash you have coming from one of the above transactions
and your money will be turned over to the states unclaimed
property division.
The most common way this happens is
that you move and the company you had dealing with tried
to contact you at your old address and could not locate
your new address.
- The first step in the process is
to make a list of every state in which you ever lived.
Don’t forget to include states where you had
dealings but did not live in directly.
- Next visit each state's unclaimed
property searchable website. You can find convenient
link to each of these websites in this site. Just
enter the information they ask for (ex: name &
SS#) and you will know if you have any unclaimed funds
due to you. Be sure to check all states on your list.
Also check the names of family and friends. You may
help them find their missing money.
- The final step is to contact the
state's where you have money due to you. Just use
the contact information from the state's unclaimed
property division on the websites provided in this
ebook. The state will help you fill out the necessary
form to collect your funds.
Now sit back and wait for your check.
There is nothing better than getting money back that's
yours! |
