The state of Texas operates an ‘unclaimed property’ website at http://www.window.state.tx.us/ . When a payor cannot find a person that is owed money then at some point that money is turned over to the state. I did a search for my name and found that Allstate owed me $100 from 18 years ago. After filing a claim and providing the necessary documentation I received a check for that amount from the state. OK, that's not so much but...
Just for grins I searched other family members and found that my sister-in-law was owed $825 for a mutual fund that my deceased brother had from 12 years ago. That claim is still being processed but it looks promising that she will get that money soon.

Hello Michael - Thanks for the tip. I will check it out. I remember when they used to publish the list in the newspaper. The times sure have changed.
