How can I find out if I have unclaimed money?▼
The most common way to find out if you have any unclaimed assets is to
go through your state’s treasurer or comptroller. States have websites
that let you search for unclaimed assets.
How can I claim my money?▼
If you find that you have unclaimed money or another type of asset, the
next step is to fill out a claim form. This is to show the agency or
office of your state the details they need to double-check your
inheritance.
Do I have to pay taxes on unclaimed money after I claim it?▼
If you had unclaimed cash, you will not need to pay taxes on that money.
However, if you had unclaimed property and it went up in value, for
example, you will probably need to pay property taxes. Your state office
can tell you more depending on the type of asset you claim.

What happens if I don’t claim the money?▼
If you have an inheritance, your money will not just disappear. In most
states, these unclaimed assets will remain for you to view online and
claim once you find them.
