What happens if I find unclaimed funds for a deceased person?

If you find unclaimed funds for a deceased person, the process may differ depending on your relationship to the deceased and your legal standing. If you are an executor or administrator of the deceased person's estate, you should provide appropriate documentation such as the death certificate, letters testamentary, or letters of administration, along with the necessary information and claim forms to the Comptroller's Office. If you are not the executor or administrator, you may need to contact the appropriate individual to claim the funds on behalf of the estate. In some cases, a small estate affidavit or court order may be required. It is essential to follow the required procedures outlined by the office to ensure a smooth claim process and proper distribution of the unclaimed funds.
