[WSBARP] locating bank account from several years ago

[Kevin Winters]

Calculate when the escheat to the estate would have happened, and do a public records request to the responsible state agency for all escheats from WA banks from x date to y date in an amount between a and b.  maybe that will get you the info.  since your client has no recollection, sounds like she may have done something odd like deposit the settlement into 2 accounts or more accounts, so consider that when doing your prr.  good luck ☺

Subject: [WSBARP] locating bank account from several years ago

Hi there,

One of my old pro bono clients called the other day with a question I have no idea how to address or if there is even a solution. She says that in 1999 she received a settlement and deposited it at a bank in Wenatchee where she was living at the time. She was dealing with untreated mental illness at that time and has no recollection of where she deposited the money. I contacted the lawyer who handled her settlement and he has no records. We looked on claimyourcash.org<http://claimyourcash.org> but didn't find anything. I thought a probate attorney might have ideas about how to track down assets in a situation like this. My only thought was for her to call all the banks in Wenatchee but some of them have closed/ changed since she lived there.

Any ideas??

Thanks!
Anessa
