Edgar at the age of three lost his mother who died of consumption, and his biological father (a professional actor) deserted him and then died about a year later.

Edgar was then raised by the Allan family, but never legally adopted. Still ,he was treated - at least at first - as a family member. However, John Allan and Edgar developed problems in their relationship. John Allan refused to help Edgar through college and an argument forced Edgar to leave and go out on his own.

The above is my understanding.

Edgar Allan Poe's father, David Poe Jr., abandoned the family rather than died in 1810. After his disappearance, there were no records of his death, leading to speculation that he had left them. Edgar was left to be raised by his mother in difficult circumstances.

What do you do with property that has been unclaimed in a bankruptcy?

It depends. Depending on the interest of the Trustee in Bankruptcy, and whether or not they have abandoned the property, will determine whether or not the debtor in Bankruptcy will be permitted to take the property if the creditor has abandoned the property. Bottom line is that it depends on the facts, contact your Bankruptcy attorney or a reputable Bankruptcy attorney to get more information.
