Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington

Old Stocks and Ownership

A friend of Mine found an old safe in his house. When He opened the safe He found thousands of dollars of old stock. The stock has the name of the original owner who has long passed away and no one even knew the safe was there. Can My friend claim any kind of ownership of the found stock?

Tell you what: If you can PROVE that you are for real, I'll give you a free half hour consult to answer the question you posed.

Sounds way too much like a first year property class final exam question to me.
