What Are Unclaimed Property Records?

What Are Unclaimed Property Records?

It is not uncommon for even well-informed persons to ask, "What is unclaimed property?" Unclaimed property generally refers to financial assets, such as cash, accounts, or investments, that show no activity or contact with the owner over a set period. Once deemed inactive, unclaimed property is typically handed over to the state for safekeeping until claimed.

Businesses, banks, insurance companies, or government agencies typically record such assets when they transfer them to the state. These official reports are called Unclaimed Property Records. The records are maintained by each state's unclaimed property office to help rightful owners recover their unclaimed money or assets.

A typical record may include the owner's name, last known address, amount of money, type of property (e.g., savings, dividends, life insurance payouts), and the holding institution's name. In some cases, account or policy numbers may be listed to aid in verifying ownership. Financial assets that may be called unclaimed money or property include:

  • Forgotten savings accounts
  • Life insurance payouts
  • Uncashed checks
  • Refunds
  • Dividends
  • Trust funds
  • Escrow accounts
  • Stocks
  • Mutual bonds
  • Matured or terminated insurance policies
  • Estates

States generally maintain these searchable databases to help people reclaim forgotten funds. Millions in unclaimed money may go undiscovered each year, often just waiting for a search.
