Frequently asked questions

Search findmassmoney.gov, then file a claim with the Unclaimed Property Division. If the estate was probated, provide Letters of Authority; if it was not probated, use the Treasurer's Affidavit of Heirs form, along with proof of death and identification.

No. Under M.G.L. c. 200A, a person claiming an interest in property surrendered to the State Treasurer may establish the claim at any time thereafter, so there is generally no deadline for heirs to file.
