put some kinfolk onto a bit of "missing money" -- being held by the state of fla

seems my good ole uncle A. B. as I called him as a kid -- salted away a CD at barnett bank ---after awhile he died (he had no kids) and the interest checks came back return to sender from the new tenents of his house -- so the bank after awhile turned it over to the state* -- its listed in the states unclaimed funds list as "cd interest payments" for abla salis * -- well old AB had a brother * (legally) his next of kin ( sadly hes dead) but he had 2 kids who are alive --I called em and told em tonight --old AB has been dead awhile and in the old days the minimum for a CD was $1000.00 and the interest was "locked in" for the whole term of the deposit. --so it could be a nice bit.--- hope they like their windfall. :thumbsup:

since their family, nothing is being asked for by me ,since its their money, now if they threw me a "finders fee" that would be nice ( but honestly I don't expect one will be forth coming ) , I just say its better that the money is with its rightful owners (my family members) than sitting in the state of floridas money vaults. :thumbsup:

I found a site that has helped me find unclaimed money for lots of friends, as well as myself. If you go to www.missingmoney.com and put in name and location, it will tell you if you have any. Some states don't work, but most do. It is so much fun to look up family and friends and then contact them with the good news!

I did that....grew up in the State of Kansas....so about 3-4 years back I discovered the State department of Unclaimed Funds. Turned out I had started a savings account in the early 80s with the princely sum of 5 bucks, and forgot about it. Something to do with the University requiring it for some reason.

It earned a total of 8 dollars in interest over the years. I got a check for 13 dollars! Woohoo!

Very much worthwhile.....every state in the US has a Division of unclaimed property.

Here...this site can help:

Just searched and found a cousin of mine, owed more than $100.

That's very cool.
