Do you have money abandoned in a bank or retirement account? - jazzboCR - 01-11-2014
This is a US-centric Thread but folks elsewhere might have similar circumstances: money, usually small amounts, forgotten about by you, your parents, your siblings, your friends. Britain and Australia have centralized databases making them easy to check: the US doesn't. Here's an article to get your thinking and your research started: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/01/your-money/lost-money-everywhere-just-waiting-to-be-claimed.html
From that article, 2 Websites: https://www.unclaimedretirementbenefits.com/ and https://www.unclaimed.org/ << contains a link to missingmoney.org--the ".org" is important; ".com" may have official endorsement but it's a private company.

If you want to be a minor hero to friends and family in the US, point them to these sites--maybe some benefit will come to them. Doesn't hurt or take much time to try...
The modern scourge of identity theft always breeds caution but they looked straight-up to me.
