Sector Areas
Financial Accounts
This sector includes unclaimed savings and checking accounts, uncashed checks, certificates of deposit (CDs), and escrow accounts. Financial institutions hold a significant portion of unclaimed assets due to inactive or dormant accounts.
Investments
This encompasses unclaimed stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and dividends. Shareholders might lose track of their investments due to changes in address, name changes, or lack of communication with the financial institution holding the securities.
Insurance
Unclaimed life insurance policies, annuities, and retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s and IRAs, form another substantial category. Beneficiaries may be unaware of these assets due to the policy holder’s failure to inform them or the institution’s inability to locate them after the account becomes dormant.
01
What are unclaimed assets or properties?
Unclaimed assets or properties are financial accounts or items that have been inactive or unclaimed by the owner for a period of time, usually one to five years, as specified by state laws. These can include bank accounts, stocks, uncashed dividend checks, insurance refunds, utility deposits, and the contents of safe deposit boxes.
02
How do assets become unclaimed?
Assets become unclaimed when the owner cannot be contacted by the institution holding the property. This can happen due to a change of address, death, or loss of contact. After a designated period, the property is turned over to the state.
03
What information do I need to search for unclaimed property?
Generally, you will need to provide your name, and in some cases, your address or social security number. For more comprehensive searches, include any previous names (e.g., maiden names) and previous addresses.
