Some of you may not realize that every state (as far as I know) has an inventory of unclaimed property in the form of money.
Yesterday I just went to the Pennsylvania and Texas state websites and found what may be money those states are holding in trust for some of my relatives. I told them about it and they are going to file claims.
What happens is that after some period of time, a company, a government, or an organization which owes someone money (like a utility deposit, excess taxes or fees, even a checking or savings account) turns it over to your state which keeps it until you or an heir claims it. So, give your state's website a look. You could get a windfall.

Last year I got money from NY state for a house sale closing from 2007. I don't remember the amount - a few hundred. It was probably the result of escrow payments owed to me after the closing.
Another time I had some money to claim, but it was less than $50 from my father's estate. It wasn't worth processing so I left it for the state to do something good (yeah, right)

I've found a few things over the years but mostly they've been for siblings. Usually a few hundred here or there in old bank accounts or stocks.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
