I get this question a lot and I don’t blame them. When my wife told me, I told her she was telling a story and I didn’t believe her. At the time I was living in New York City and she called me from work. She works for TJMaxx at the time, still do, and after a few minutes I gave in and did the search as she suggested I perform. I wasn’t expecting any thing but a check came in two weeks later. In my experience, the majority of people will not find any money in their name but you won’t know that unless you do an unclaimed property search. All that’s required is a last name or a business name. That’s it.
