Families Often Lose Significant Amounts of Wealth When Loved Ones Die or Become Incapacitated
There is a significant amount of unclaimed assets and family wealth that is lost every year. In the State of Texas alone billions of dollars in bank accounts, oil royalties, insurance money, safety deposit box contents, stocks, retirement funds, real estate, and other wealth is forgotten about, becomes lost, or is unclaimed. This unclaimed property often occurs when someone unexpectedly dies or becomes incompetent. When this person is the head of a household or controls a family's wealth, records can often be lost and assets can often go unclaimed. This is more common when families do not live close to each other and/or do not communicated about financial issues. Much of this lost or unclaimed wealth is collected by the states and held for rightful owners including heirs and beneficiaries. However, it is not uncommon for large corporations including oil companies, insurance companies, brokers, financial advisers, and banks to keep unclaimed assets.
Locating Assets, Claiming Wealth, Probating Estates, Claiming Death Benefits, Transferring Real Estate
The State of Texas is currently holding over $2 billion in assets in Texas Unclaimed Property. This property is entrusted to it from a variety of sources, including unclaimed utility deposits, dormant bank accounts, unclaimed wages, safety deposit boxes, insurance policies, royalties, and uncashed checks. Claiming this property is not always easy as many of the people that originally owned or were entitled to this property have died or become incapacitated. As such, to claim the assets that belonged to these people, their families will need to go through probate before the heirs or beneficiaries can claim the assets. As a Texas Unclaimed Property Lawyer and a Texas Probate Lawyer, Jason Coomer, works with heirs and beneficiaries to help them gain control of their loved one's estate to be able to claim unclaimed property. In most cases, the estate will need to go through a will probate or a suit to determine heirship will need to be filed. This probate process can be expensive, but if there are significant assets in the estate or being held by the State of Texas, the investment can be well worth the cost. Further, if there are significant assets in the estate, the probate process and collection process can sometimes be handled on a contingent contract or a hybrid contract where attorneys fees and expenses are recouped out of the recovered money.

Locating and Claiming Lost Wealth
In locating and claiming lost wealth, it is important to make sure that someone has gone through the financial records of a family member that his died or has become incapacitated. This should include checking the person's mail after they have passed away to determine if any bank statements, insurance information, brokerage account statements, retirement information, royalties, tax documents, or other financial information is sent. It is also usually a good idea to check with the state where the decedent was living to determine if any of that person's assets have been collected by the state. The following link can be used to check Texas Unclaimed Property. However, this is not the only place that should be investigated as many financial institutions, oil companies, banks, trusts, large corporations, and insurance companies, keep assets for an extended period of time or send the property to other states.

In addition to what is inherited, there is a significant amount of unclaimed wealth including bank accounts, houses, oil interests, safety deposit boxes, stocks, and other wealth that is forgotten about. In our modern society families don't always live close and some wealth is lost or forgotten. Death or incapacity is not always anticipated and many people will unfortunately loose track of stocks, bank accounts, oil interests, and other wealth. It is a good idea to keep a safety deposit box with an inventory of all your assets and have people that you trust that can get access to your safety deposit box should something happen to you.
It is also becoming more common for family members not living close to a recently deceased relative to not know how to handle a probate matter or have enough money to clear title to property. In these instances it is good to locate a local attorney that can assist in appraising an estate including real estate and houses to determine if it would be beneficial to probate an estate or to determine the most efficient method to clear title to property.
