Check out your living and deceased parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. You can prove yourself as heir of someone on their list. Some States are working with Genealogical and Historical Societies to locate some of these lost people!!! You would be surprised how many insurance policies do not list beneficiaries. Sometimes if there is a beneficiary, no additional information was supplied such as address or social security number. You may not even have known that your parents took out a loan and listed you as beneficiary on the insurance policy they took out! I think this is a great site for anyone working with genealogy. Knowing how to prove heirs comes in very handy when claiming property of a deceased family member. As for the site foundmoney site, it would be worth your while to check it out. Be careful that it is not a site where you have to pay them to claim this money for you. You can contact the State yourself and usually not pay anything depending on what State holds your money. They want to give you the money almost as much as you want it! If you are interested in finding if a State is holding Unclaimed Property for you, look at this website: http://www.unclaimed.org/ All 50 States and DC have representatives in this national organization of the above website, NAUPA [National Association of Unclaimed Property Association. I work for a Finance Company and have gone to 2 of thier conferences. My job is to maintain uncashed checks and filing State Reports for my employer. We pay out thousands of dollars a years to the State in checks that go uncashed [usually overpayment on loans]. Unclaimed Property is paid to the State of "last known residence" if known. Unfortunately, if no address is supplied, it is paid to the State of where the Business if incorporated. So you can have money in any State and never know it! Also, some States have reciprocal reporting with other States. A company can report all residences of those States to just one State. Actually, it would be best to search all States that have searchable databases. Unclaimed Property can be Uncashed Checks, Safety Deposit Box contents, Gift Certificates, Stocks, Saving Account Funds, Insurance Drafts etc... Access the website to read more. Please pass this along to anyone who would be interested. Let me know if you find anything!
