Official search

Heir claim documents

A certified copy of the death certificate, certified probate documents establishing authority over the estate (such as Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration), and the claimant's photo identification.

Time limit to claim

None. Alaska holds the property in trust until the owner or heirs claim it.

Small estate option

If the deceased's total personal property (net of debts) is $50,000 or less — or $100,000 or less for Alaska-registered vehicles — and no probate case has been opened, a successor (heir, beneficiary, or named personal representative) may present Form P-110 (Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property of Decedent) in lieu of full probate Letters. At least 30 days must have elapsed since death. Confirm with the Treasury Division whether P-110 is accepted for unclaimed property claims. (Alaska Stat. 13.16.680; Form P-110.)
