" target=_blank>unclaimed property searches are
conducted by most Americans on an annual, if not biannual,
basis. With over $25 billion in unclaimed money in the United
States most people find money for themselves or one of their
immediate family members. Unfortunately if the search is not
done thoroughly you may miss money owed to you.

Here are 5 tips to help you search for your unclaimed money:

1 - Search for variations of your name

For example a person named William J. Smith may have money
under W. Smith, Bill Smith, W J Smith, etc. Search all possible
name variations to ensure the unclaimed money account was
not listed under a variation of your name.

2 - Look in ALL state and federal databases

The missing funds are reported in state and federal
databases. You may have money in any of the over 54
databases. Even if you have only lived in one state you may
still have money in another states database. If you were
owed money from a life insurance policy from a company in
New York, that company may report the money in the New
York state database. An inheratance may be in the
benefactor's state database. If you search only your state of
residency you may miss money owed to you.

3 - Know all past addresses of the person whose name
you are searching

When you do a missing money search you will be given the
results that match the searched name. The results may not all
be an accurate match. You will have to search the results
based on name and past address or account information. It
could be under any address the person had in their lifetime.

4 - Use a quality, all-in-one database

To search all state and federal databases would take a
tremendous amount of time and you would most likely give up
before you completed all of the searches. It is much more
efficient to use an all in one database. There are many of
these databases but make sure you use a QUALITY database.
What makes a "QUALITY" database? A quality database is one
that is constantly updated, which will update new missing
money accounts reported and will remove claimed accounts. It
will also include ALL state and federal databases.

5 - Follow through with the claim process for all found
money accounts

Once you locate money owed to you print the necessary forms
and make the copies of the ID's or documents needed to
process the claim. Usually the required forms are driver's
license or a death or birth certificate and you may need to fill
out a claim form or two. This process should only take you
about 15 minutes or so. Then send in the claim forms! If the
claims forms aren't sent in you'll never get the money that's
owed to you.

the nation's unclaimed money will greatly increase your found
accounts and make sure none are overlooked. Search and find
