DIY: Unclaimed Funds
- Search your state’s unclaimed property website (state treasury / unclaimed property division).
- Confirm the listing details (name variations, previous addresses, businesses, etc.).
- Gather documents: government ID, proof of address, and any supporting paperwork required.
- Submit the claim through the official state portal and save confirmations.
- Follow up using the portal status tools and keep copies of all uploads.
Tip: Search multiple states if you moved often or had prior addresses.
DIY: Surplus Funds
- Identify the county clerk/sheriff/tax office handling surplus proceeds for the sale.
- Confirm eligibility (owner, lienholder, heirs/estate, etc.).
- Request the official claim packet/forms and deadline details.
- Prepare required documents (ID, deeds, probate/estate docs, assignments where applicable).
- Submit the packet and request a receipt or case reference number.
Surplus timelines can be strict. Don’t wait.
