Frequently asked questions

Search nccash.gov, then contact the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the person lived to obtain documentation showing your authority to claim for the estate. File the claim at nccash.gov with proof of ownership and that authority documentation.

The Clerk of Superior Court administers decedents' estates in North Carolina. Depending on the circumstances, the Clerk can determine the most efficient documentation needed to show authority to claim the property on behalf of the estate.

North Carolina holds unclaimed property in the Escheat Fund until it is claimed, so there is generally no deadline for an owner or their heirs to file a claim.
