State of New Jersey won returns my money, Help

Asked on May 11th, 2017 on Estate Litigation - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Dear Sir/Madame, I have unclaimed property seized by State of New Jersey, I made the claim on November 2015 to State of New Jersey and I have sent them the documents they requested: my bank statement from Citibank and also from Vanguard as a proof that the money belong to me. I have also sent them several emails and made several phone calls trying to find out an updated regarding my claims. I have no confirmation response from State of New Jersey. I am not very clear on the status of my claim is or what it is exactly that I need to provide. I do not know how long the recovery process will last and what exactly I still need to do. I also had documents notarised as they requested. I need State of New Jersey to give me my money back and I don't know what else to do. Please let me know if you can help me or if you could give me any advice what to do? I am currently living in UK (London) Sincerely Cristina

There are certain assets that are claimed and the funds sent direclty to a bank acocunt.  I'm not sure if living in the UK is complicating your situation.  It is possible that there have been more than one claim to the same asset and therefore the State is sorting that out, but they usually tell you if that has occurred.  Its going to depend on how you are claiming the asset:  was it your money?  was it an inheritence?  is it supposed to be split with other parties?  are there taxes due?  you need to get the State to tell you what else needs to be done - they will very often not volunteer information - you have to keep asking "what can I do to get this released".  Good Luck.
