Unclaimed money free search.
You can usually start by searching official state unclaimed property databases without paying a finder. The hard part is searching all the right names and states.
Do not pay first: a fee is not required just to search official records.
Free search checklist
- Your current legal name.
- Old names, maiden names, married names, initials, and misspellings.
- All states where you lived, worked, studied, paid utilities, or held accounts.
- Old employers, old businesses, dissolved companies, and DBAs.
- Deceased relatives if you have estate or relationship authority to investigate.
Where people make mistakes
- Searching only one state.
- Using only one exact name spelling.
- Ignoring old addresses.
- Confusing a paid finder site with an official claim site.
- Assuming a name match is definitely theirs before checking address and property details.
