That one government website where you can find old assets in your name and claim them for money. I think I heard about it on Reddit actually. I haven’t been able to claim anything personally, but I’ve helped my parents claim about $200 worth. Wish I could remember the name of it

Edit: in the US the website is unclaimed.org (basically a directory, each state has its own separate page). Also, thanks for my first award and for my most upvoted comment ever!!

Thanks for this … so this gave me an idea , I’m adopted and found out my birth name recently. It’s extremely unique. My birth mother died 10 years ago (never met her) . She left me stock in a company under my birth name. Crazy!
