It is easy to obtain the unclaimed property.  You go on your state's website and click on the unclaimed property section.  It should give  you instructions on which forms you need to complete to obtain the unclaimed property.  You can download the forms or you can call the telephone number listed and have the forms sent to you.  You complete the forms which may need to be notarized, and mail them to the address provided in order to receive a check for the funds.If you receive mail from companies offering to do this for you in exchange for charging a fee which is a percentage of the total funds, ignore those letters because you can do this yourself very easily.
