What Are Unclaimed Funds and Properties?

Unclaimed funds and properties are assets that have been forgotten, lost, or abandoned. These can include:

• Bank accounts: Dormant accounts with remaining balances.

• Uncashed checks: Payroll, dividends, or refund checks that were never cashed.

• Insurance policies: Unclaimed payouts or matured policies.

• Inheritances: Assets from deceased relatives that were never claimed.

• Utility deposits: Overpaid deposits for electricity, gas, or water services.

• Safe deposit boxes: Forgotten boxes with valuables inside.

Billions of dollars in unclaimed assets are held by governments, banks, and institutions—waiting to be reclaimed by their rightful owners.

​

How Do Funds and Properties Become Unclaimed?

Assets can become unclaimed for a variety of reasons, including:

• Relocation: Moving without updating your address.

• Name changes: Marriage, divorce, or legal name changes.

• Inactivity: Accounts that haven’t been used in years.

• Deceased relatives: Heirs unaware of inherited assets.

• Administrative errors: Misspelled names or incorrect contact information.

Why Should You Reclaim Your Funds?

• It’s Your Money: Unclaimed funds and properties belong to you—not the government or institutions.

• No Expiration: In most cases, unclaimed assets don’t expire and can be recovered at any time.

• Financial Security: Recovering lost funds can provide a financial boost or help secure your future.

• Peace of Mind: Knowing you’ve reclaimed what’s yours brings closure and confidence.
