State Unclaimed Property in Arkansas: when someone dies

Steps to take

1. Search claimitar.gov for the deceased's name and prior addresses, and run a multi-state search at missingmoney.com.
2. File a claim as the estate representative or heir with:
   • A copy of a government-issued ID and a Social Security number (or FEIN) — required on every claim
   • Documentation proving heirship — a probated will, or the Auditor's affidavit of heirship for claims under $10,000
   • A court order establishing ownership, for intestate heir claims greater than $10,000
   • A notarized claim form, if the claim is $1,000 or more or includes stock or safe deposit box contents
3. Upload supporting documents at claimitar.gov/app/claim-doc-upload, then track the claim at claimitar.gov/app/claim-status-search.
4. The Unclaimed Property Division reviews the claim and, when approved, mails a check. Checks are processed weekly and typically mailed on Fridays.
