Abandoned Property Websites exist to help people locate lost assets. For example, you may have a dividend that paid to a closed account. Another example is a bank account you opened to get a mortgage but forgot about over the years.
Probate Paralegal, Jacqueline Mettinger
Ever wondered if you have any funds floating around out there? Go find out! This page provides you links to the abandoned property sites of all 50 of the states’ (and bonus territories!).
Have fun seeing if you have some lost money! During the COVID quarantine, who couldn’t use a bit of found money?
How did the money get to these sites? Property in inactive accounts is turned over to the state. Each state has created an abandoned property department whose core responsibility is managing these assets in the hope that the rightful owner returns. If someone claims the money, the department’s job is to return the asset to the claimant. That is, return it as long as the claimant can prove they are the rightful owner.
For an estate, this means the Executor must prove the deceased owned the property. We regularly examine the Abandoned Property sites as part of our Probate Process. To learn more, see our article The Probate Process, Everything You Need to Know.

Bernadette Cucinotti
It's our first time doing business with Klenk Law and it was absolutely very positive. All interactions were timely and very professional. Peter and all of his staff put us at ease when making our estate plans and answered any questions thoroughly. We would highly recommend.
Jacqueline Gowen-Tolcott
We had an excellent experience. Everyone was very personable, professional and efficient.
Matthew Wentz
My experience with Klenk Law was nothing shy of amazing. I had done some quick research when searching for an estate attorney and was immediately drawn to Klenk Law being a veteran owned business and due to their support for veterans, first responders, and teachers . Every member of their staff was knowledgeable and patient through every step of the process and with all of my questions. They were honest and transparent with pricing and expectations. They were very timely with communications and kept me in the loop throughout the process. I will definitely recommend Klenk Law to friends and family.
Cathy Goodwin
Very friendly and easy to work with - definitely a better experience than I've had with other lawyers! Peter is very detailed and thorough. I've worked on previous versions of my will with other lawyers, and he pointed out things they'd never mentioned. Fast turnaround and very responsive to emails and phone calls.
