U.S. Courts bankruptcy unclaimed funds

If a person or business filed bankruptcy and money was left unclaimed in the case, the official Unclaimed Funds Locator can point you to the bankruptcy court that still holds it. Each court sets its own claim process. Search by creditor or debtor name on ucf.uscourts.gov.

Eligibility questions

These questions help you decide whether to read the official notice. They are not a legal determination.

Are you searching for money that may be owed to you, or that was owed to a deceased relative you can legally represent?

Official sites usually allow heirs to claim after they prove authority. Confirm the rules on the official page.

Do you understand that the official government search and claim process is free?

USA.gov and NAUPA say you can search official sites at no charge. Finder services may charge a cut.

Did you live in the United States during the relevant period?
