Is it legal for the comptroller office to only distribute a small portion of the proceeds listed on their website? After ive jumped thru hoops to provide all the info they requested for 11 months they finally send a check that is only a small portion of the listed checks i made claim for? Can they just keep money after they have received interest money off of the money for possibly years ? And how do they decide how much to allow you to receive of those claims?
May depend upon the state. They will only release what they are certain belongs to you. Contact them back and ask what other information they need to get the rest of the listed checks. Keep copies of all your conversations or letters/emails.
Ive emailed and no response to any of my questions.
Are you the sole heir to the proceeds in question? For example - if you are trying to claim funds in the name of a grandparent and there are 10 grandchildren as lawful heirs, it doesn’t seem fair that one heir should be able to receive funds that may be split among ten heirs.
