I am trying to find out if there is any money left in the account of a
deceased relative.
Last year, in a family bible, we discovered a savings book envelope
with a note inside that said:
In case of accident, get in touch with this bank at once.
The note was in a savings account passbook envelope with the name of
my father's aunt, Adalaide Frock. Her maiden name was Adalaide
Mearlida Carr. She was born October 31, 1881, according to this family
bible, somewhere near Princeton, NJ. Possibly in Plainsboro, Grovers
Mills, or Cranberry, NJ.
She lived much of her adult life in New York City.
The envelope was for DRY DOCK SAVINGS INSTITUTION at 742 Lexington
Avenue at 59th Street and 341 Bowery at 3rd Street, both in New York,
New York.
There is no passbook inside the envelope. However, inside the envelope
was a brown envelope with her note on it. There was nothing in this
brown envelope, but it may have held a safety deposit box key.
We know for certain that she owned a profitble hat store in Spring
Lake, NJ during the depression. We think she died after WWII in the
late 1940s.
In reading about so many unclaimed accounts, we are wondering if there
is any way to retrieve information on the disposition of her accounts.
How would we claim the money if there was any? Department of Budget and Finance::

Mula --
Each state has a slightly different procedure for unclaimed funds (and
it differs depending on whether they're insurance, bank deposits or
other funds).
This is the specific contact information for the New York State
Banking Department Consumer Services site (April 23, 2002):
"I found an old passbook. Whom do I contact about getting my money
back?
Contact the Office of Unclaimed Funds in the State Comptroller's
office at the Alfred E. Smith Office Building, Albany, New York 12236.
The Office can be reached at 1-800-221-9311 from within New York
State, or at (518) 270-2200 from outside New York State. All abandoned
property from financial institutions is delivered to the State
Comptroller's Office after remaining unclaimed for a period of time
but may be reclaimed at a later time. The period differs according to
the type of property."
If the bank doesn't exist, there's a high likelihood that it was
acquired or that assets ended in the states hands. There is
information on the Consumer Services site on what to do if this is the
case:

Good luck (and be sure to let us know via a comment if you're
successful)!
