It depends on what the probate court's order for final distribution says. There's usually a clean-up provision in the order that specifies what happens to any estate assets that are discovered later, such as these unclaimed accounts. If that portion of the order says that these assets would go to the lender, then the lender should get it. If the order says that only a portion of these assets go to the lender the lender gets that portion. If the order says it goes to you then you should get it.
