Your 'Missing' Money Awaits You

Did you know that at least $33 billion sits in state treasuries and other agencies waiting to be returned to its rightful owners? You could be one of them. This has occurred because of 117 million accounts that are inactive or whose owners or their heirs cannot be located. It is the law for financials institutions to get in contact with their owners. However, when they are unable to, the money is then turned over to the government of the state. To check if you are entitled to a payoff, go to http://www.missingmoney.com/ or http://www.unclaimed.org/ or call the state's treasurer office if you don't have a computer. A tip would be to search every state you have lived and to check maiden names and those of deceased family members. Be sure to avoid those services who request fees in order to help you search or claim money on your behalf.
