<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the right sub to post this in, but my brother was just told by his local bank First Texas Bank that his savings account no longer exists due to inactivity. The account was started a few years ago when he was a freshman in high school 21 now as a Teen account with our father having joint control of the account. I used to have a similar account, but had it converted to a checking account when my father passed away a few years back. The bank claims to have sent notices by mail to my mother, but she says she never received anything. My brother had 1,700 in the account that the bank has now told him has vanished. My sister has a similar account with over 10,000 in it and now were wondering if the same thing has happened to her. Im not sure if what has happened is a common occurrence in banks or if we need to seek legal help on the matter, but as of now, my brother an sister basically lost over 10,000. Please let me know asap of theres anything I can or should do, or if theres a better sub to be asking this question. ThanksEdit: Im not sure if his helps at all, but this is the only information I could find from First Texas Banks website regarding the limitations of the account which my brother and sister are not in violation of.Edit 2: Hey guys we figured it out. It turns out my mom closed the account almost immediately after my father passed away and forgot she had done so. Im assuming thats why the bank had no record of the account anymore. Thanks for the help!Assistant: Do you live in Texas? You can check the Texas unclaimed property search site: If its not there, sounds like you should ask the bank where the money went and how you can get it back.Human: Yeah we do live in Texas. I checked the website you linked and couldnt find anything there. I guess my next step would be to contact the bank and ask where the money went?  <response>: Ur mom spent it already why she claims to not to remember. But damn 10k!!? Would be so pissed. Idk how your staying so calm. Every other word would have been a curse word if this were my post. Best of luck and hope you guys get ur back.
