What is unclaimed property?
Unclaimed Property consists of money and other personal assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner cannot be located after a specified period of time. It includes checking accounts, certificates of deposit, overpayments, gift certificates, paid-up life insurance policies, unpaid wages, commissions, uncashed checks, death benefits, dividends, insurance payments, money orders, refunds, savings accounts, stocks and contents of safe deposit boxes. Unclaimed Property does not include real estate.
How does property become unclaimed?
Generally, most property is presumed to be abandoned if no activity
has been made for three years. Wages, government checks and utility
deposits become unclaimed after only one year.
How can I prevent my property from becoming unclaimed?
Keep accounts active and make sure that at least every three years
you make a deposit, withdrawal, or contact your financial institution.
Leave a forwarding address if you relocate.
Is there a deadline for making a claim?
No. You can make a claim any time, since unclaimed property is kept in a custodial capacity until the rightful owner or heir can be found.
Is there a charge or fee for this program?
No. There is no fee for this service whether or not property is found under your name. It is the goal of the Treasurer to make every reasonable effort to locate the rightful owner of Unclaimed Property.
