Did you know that as many as a quarter of the people living in the USA have unclaimed property or money waiting for them in the forms of:
* Unclaimed commissions and wages
* Forgotten credits
* Unclaimed refunds
* Layaway balances
* Gift certificates with value remaining
* Abandoned savings and checking accounts
* Un-cashed money orders, travelers checks and payroll checks.
* Bonds and stocks
* Inheritance
* Mortgage insurance refunds
* Benefits from the military
* Utility and security deposits
* Tax returns
* Uncollected insurance claims
* Pensions
* Safe deposits
These are items which are often overlooked when moving, changing your name and also upon the death of a family member.
An organization holding unclaimed assets after 5 years is required to forfeit the assets to the state of the owner’s last known place of residence. The state then holds the assets until claimed by the rightful owner. Some unclaimed assets currently being held by certain states date back more than 150 years!
I SAID “GITCHO MUNNY SUCKA!”
About half the states in America have online searchable databases where you can find out if money or property is currently being held in your name - for free. Most other states will at the very least, have information online that will instruct you how to find out if you have unclaimed assets. There are enough free routes to take in this discovery, so you should not find it necessary to pay any service for this type of search.
Here are a couple of links that can help you search for your unclaimed money and property:
