For property worth more than $10,000, you need certified Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary, or a probate Decree of Distribution naming you. For $10,000 or less, a copy of the death certificate plus a signed affidavit saying you're entitled, how you're related, that there's been no probate and none is planned, and that you'll repay the state if someone with a better right comes forward.
Anyone who tells you about unclaimed property or files a claim for you can't charge more than 25% of what is recovered. If the owner has died and didn't agree to the fee in writing, the fee can only be collected from heirs who each agreed to it in writing. We found no waiting period during which finder agreements are void.
