New York Counties

New York has 62 counties, each with its own County Clerk, Treasurer, and Surrogate's Court that may hold unclaimed funds. County clerks keep land records and court records where excess mortgage funds or court deposits may go unclaimed. County treasurers handle tax refunds and vendor payments that sometimes never reach the right person. Surrogate's Courts manage estate proceedings where assets can sit undistributed for years.
