Sometimes an owner dies and his or her heirs fail to claim assets left to them because they don't know about the inheritance. People can lose track of property unintentionally when they move or change their names after they marry or divorce. If they're unsuccessful, they must turn the assets over to the state, which tries to find the owners, usually by advertising in newspapers.
During that time, banks and other holders of such property are required to try to contact the owners. The types of assets typically include bank accounts, certificates of deposit, contents of safe-deposit boxes, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, dividend or payroll checks, refunds for goods or services, traveler's checks, insurance payments, annuities, trust distributions, unredeemed money orders or gift certificates, utility security deposits, escrow accounts, and mineral royalty payments.Īssets usually land in state treasuries and with other agencies that administer unclaimed property programs because state laws declare property abandoned after a period of inactivity, typically three to five years. State treasuries and other agencies hold unclaimed property worth about $32.8 billion.
