Direct answer
Parents or legal guardians can claim property for a minor by providing the child's birth certificate, the parent's ID, and, if applicable, court-issued guardianship documents.
How minors get unclaimed property
Children often receive unclaimed property through custodial savings accounts, inherited life insurance policies, or bonds purchased by grandparents that were forgotten over time.
Proving your authority
If you are the biological parent, a birth certificate listing your name is usually sufficient proof. If you are a legal guardian, you must provide the court order establishing your guardianship over the minor's estate.
Managing the claim
Parents can easily file these claims for free through the state's website. If the claim involves a complex inheritance issue, Oklahoma Estate Finders is available to provide private, optional assistance on a commission basis.
