Families Often Discover Unclaimed Assets After a Loved One's Death
Many families uncover forgotten or unclaimed money after a loved one dies, including small accounts and old insurance policies. According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, billions of dollars in unclaimed assets are held by state governments and federal agencies. These assets often come from inactive financial accounts or benefits due to the owner's relocation, name change, or death. Families can search for these assets through various online resources and state treasuries.
