Savings/Trust Account

[Chapoodle]

What is the name of your state? CA
My father died in 2003 and left me a Savings account book from Bank of America that was opened in 1949 with a balance of $10. I am wondering if this account would still have to be honored by B of A and if I would be able to collect it without a Will?

Doubtful if the account wasnot used over the years. Usually at some point one is ask to clear up such and account or it will be closed then the state gets the funds. But Ca. is a different land sometimes so stay tuned. Here it would already have been long gone.

Check out this web site for the state of CA unclaimed funds www.sco.ca.gov. Type in Dad's name and see if anything comes up. Good luck.

Thank you for all the help so far.

I'd be interested if you found anything from that period. Let us know if you would. I found bits of money for many people I knew and with interest it can add up to who knows what. Basically, it's money that belongs to someone but the state of CA has to hold onto it so it just sits there. Go for it.
