<prompt> Human: Using one of those find unclaimed money websites from my state, I learned that my deceased mother owned 100 shares of stock in a company that no longer exists. It didnt go out of business, but it was bought by another company, then that company merged with another company. Does that mean that I have 100 shares in that final company? Is there any way to figure out the value of what I am owed?I understand that I would have to produce a lot of documentation, including the death certificate, etc., so it would be nice to know what the value is before starting the process.Thanks in advance for your advice.Edit: It was Adobe not that one sadly Resources Corp. Best I can tell it is now part of Devon Energy  <response>: I had some stock that went to Californias unclaimed property department. They liquidate stock when they receive it, rather than hold shares. If this is the case for you, it would be the value at the time it was sold, not the current value. I would start by filing a claim with the state. There is a provision in the paperwork for heirs.
