more than likely that account was closed by the bank for not being used |

Well....if you go to Bank of America and explain it to one of the people you can sit down and talk to, they maybe be able to pull up your account if you have your grandmother's name and social security number and if you can prove that you are related to her and she left it for you(such as if your name is also on the acocunt).
If your grandmother is no longer alive and she left a will, you should look into that and see if it includes that account. |

you will need some proof that the account existed. if they say that there is no acct with your name on it check with your states local unclaimed property office and see if there is money sitting in there for you. I found $69 sitting in Nebraska's unclaimed property office this year in my name. |

It still should be there. Try calling the treasure dept. of your state(if you are in the U.S) they can dirct you to a a nnumber to call for "lost" money. |

They can look the account up with a social security number. I saw one account at a bank where i worked where the account had a fee for not being in use every month so the savings kept getting lower over the years and it ended up closing after the guy owed slightly over $100. He was not happy. |

Try contacting the Secretary of state in the state the account was opened in, or go to their website. They generally keep records of money that has gone unclaimed in situations like this. My mother got back $68 she had in the bank of Denver in 1977. |

is your grandmother alive? i am guessing by your question that she isn't. it could have been settled when she died. i would ask your parents who the executor of the will was. did she have your name on the account? if she didn't you probably don't have any rights to it. i would say that someone in the family or the lawyer that did the will might know. if she didn't have a will, then it went through probate and was most likely split between her children if she didn't have a husband or if your grandfather already passed away. maybe call the bank and ask them for further advice. sorry this wasn't a more positive answer. good luck!!! |

After all this time, the bank has probably absorbed it. There is a time limit on inactive accounts - they are closed and if the holder(s) cannot be found, the bank can keep the money.
You can inquire with them if the account was in your name. They will be able to tell you if it still exists, and how much is in it if so. |

BANKS USUALLY TERMINATE INACTIVE ACCOUNTS AFTER SEVEN YEARS. |

If an account hasn't been touched in I think it's 7 or 10 years, most banks turn them over to the state they were opened in and they often just sit there as unclaimed funds. Start by looking for a website for unclaimed funds for your state - you'll be able to search by name. If it's been turned over, you'll find it and the listing will tell you whom to contact ot claim it.
Otherwise, if you know what state the account was opened in and the approximate time frame, contact Bank of America - they have good customer service people who might be able to direct you how and where to search for it.
Good luck! |

After a few years of accounts being dormant, the state gets the money. It is possible to get it back, but I'm not sure what the time limit is. You should contact the Department of Treasury of the State where the account was held. |

What state is the account in? Try the state's web site and look for the unclaimed property database. You may find something there. |

call any BOA and explain your situation. just because you don't have the acct no. shouldn't keep you from it. you'll just have to give proof of identication. any BOA should be ableto direct you to the proper office or phone number. |

it's been 39 years?
no activity.. if your grandmother passed away.. bank has closed her account and will give reasonable time for her relatives to collect it
39 years is way too long gone.. |
