Find Missing Money in West Virginia – Part 2 of 2
(Part 2 of 2)
After getting $117,000 from the State Treasury Office, Andy Bragg, of Southern West Virginia Paving said, "We were very surprised when the State Treasurer's office called and told us they might have some unclaimed property that belonged to us."
Despite efforts of award winning WV State Treasurer John Perdue to reunite missing money belonging to his state's residents however, there is still approximately 110 million dollars waiting to be discovered in WV alone.
The WV unclaimed funds total is so large for the same reasons the national unclaimed funds from lost assets has climbed to more than $33 billion. According to State Treasurer John Perdue, unclaimed funds can come from a variety of sources – primarily because people just plain forgot about them. "They may have a paycheck coming to them that they didn't realize or some stock their grandparents purchased when they were a child and it was forgotten in a safety deposit box," Perdue says. "There are all kinds of unclaimed property examples where money was forgotten."
Whatever the reason, residents of 'The Mountain State' should all do an unclaimed funds search in WV and other states. The easiest and most convenient way is to do this on the web with the assistance of a legitimate unclaimed funds professional who can teach you the proper methods of doing thorough and effective searches for your unclaimed funds as well as pre-escheat property (lost assets that have not yet been handed over to the state).
