Mutual fund shares or an investment account that became unreachable.

Fund positions are often opened once and never touched. When the statements start bouncing, the fund reports the holding to the state.

What you will need to claim it

Fund statements, the account number, or confirmation from the fund administrator.

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.
