Frequently asked questions

Search ClaimItTN.gov, then file a claim through the Claims Portal with proof of death and proof of authority — Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration if the estate was probated, or affidavit/small-estate documentation if it was not.

The Tennessee Department of Treasury, Unclaimed Property Division, holds it under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act (Tenn. Code Title 66, Chapter 29). The free official portal is ClaimItTN.gov, and the division can be reached at 866-370-9429.

Tennessee holds unclaimed property until it is claimed, so there is generally no deadline for an owner or their heirs to file a claim.

For a deceased owner's property valued at $10,000 or more, the claimant must file an Estate Claim, which requires certified Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration and a federal estate tax identification number (FEIN). For property below $10,000, heirs may file the simpler Heir Claim with a certified death certificate, a probated will or obituary, and a certified birth certificate for each heir.
