Escrow or title company funds left over after a property transaction.

Overpayments at closing, unused impound balances and refunded fees routinely go unclaimed because the parties have all moved on — and moved house.

What you will need to claim it

Closing documents, the escrow number, or the title company’s file reference.

Every claim also needs government photo identification and proof of your Social Security number, plus a document linking you to the address the property was reported under. That last item is the one that stops most people.
