What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
I have submitted a claim to the State Treasurer of Nevada's Unclaimed Property Division for the sum of $18,865.85. The sum represents a CD and was owned by my Aunt who is now deceased. As Executor of the Estate I have provided the Treasurer's office with all the required documents proving I am the rightful owner of this property; Claim form, my ID, Death Certificate, SS and Tax ID Nos., Powers of Attorney, Will, Living Will, Declaration of Trust, Affidavit of Small Estate, all signed and notarized. The Treasurer's Office, it seems, is never satisfied and now demands that the $18,000.00 which constitutes "The Estate" go through Probate, and that I produce a Final Order of Probate or my claim will be denied. The whole of the Estate, house, bank accounts, and all personal property was settled nearly 10 years ago without probate.
I have met with two Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys and have been told that because the sum is under $20,000, Probate is not necessary.
Ive sent a Letter of Protest and asked for a review hearing, but I can't help but wonder if my claim will be denied no matter what proof I provide. Please advise. Any information or personal experience in claiming property from the State Treasurer's Office Unclaimed Property Division whould be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Donadenese
