There are seven relatives in the Chicago area.
It's the largest return of unclaimed property ever in the United States, and it's in Illinois.
Most of Stancak's 119 heirs live in Poland and Slovakia. but there are seven relatives in the Chicago area. There's little known about how Stancak became wealthy, but he did own a boat named"Easy." "Returning unclaimed property is a core function of the Illinois State Treasurer's Office, no matter how long it takes," according to Frerich's office.
Because Stancak and his siblings had no children, the Stancak estate had to ID family through his parents. That meant going up the family tree. A few relatives are in the United States, including New Jersey, New York and Minnesota. Seven are in the Chicago area.
