No Guarantees in your family law case
Likewise, there are no guarantees that you own some abandoned property.
Well, maybe not everyone will get it however it is worth a try. Go to the NJ Unclaimed Property homepage go to the Claims Section and click “search for unclaimed property” put in your last name and see what happens. You might just be surprised. My friend and longtime accountant Michael P McDermott, CPA suggests that everyone check this site from time to time. He has given me this tip and I happily pass it along to you. Indeed, more than one friend and family member have collected funds due to them from New Jersey’s unclaimed property agency.
