Find Unclaimed Money or Property that Belongs to You

The phrase "unclaimed money" may sound like the beginning of any number of spam email you've received and deleted, but unclaimed money and property are out there, and finding out whether you're owed either is just a few web searches away.

We've highlighted unclaimed money search engine Missing Money in the past, but money blog Get Rich Slowly goes in depth into how to find unclaimed money and property, mentioning Missing Money along with several other tools for hunting down unclaimed cash—like Treasury Hunt for savings bonds, the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits for unclaimed 401ks, and several other options. Beyond search aggregators and national search options, the post also rounds together a state-by-state list of links to help you hunt down unclaimed money and property at the individual state level.

Remember that you should never have to pay a fee to claim abandoned money or property that belongs to you (though some services offer to do the hunting for you, for a fee). If you've ever reclaimed unclaimed funds, let's hear about your experience in the comments. Photo by redjar.
