| "Unclaimed Property is property that is collected and maintained by each state until the owner has been notified and the property has been reclaimed." |
Unclaimed property held by state government is estimated to owe 9 out of 10 Americans. There is no age limit to who maybe owed for lost money. Why? Because it is possible that there are unclaimed monies owed to infants up to the oldest person in the world. Parents, grandparents, other relatives and friends could name an infant to be an heir of an estate or trust fund before they are even born or after they are born. But, unless other living relatives know about this trust fund, it may go unclaimed. There are times when relatives of a deceased person have no knowledge of the existence of a trust fund and the distribution of a deceased person's estates are not disclosed to the immediate family, so again, the proceeds goes unclaimed. | That is why the government at the local, state, national and federal levels are getting the word out about unclaimed property to inform millions of people that are possibly owed a refund. If there is even an inkling of a chance that you may have lost money unclaimed, now would be the time to search. Even though there has been a tremendous increase in Americans filing claims, millions of dollars are still being reported every year as unclaimed. We want to encourage you to take the plunge, and take advantage of every resource that is available to you to find your assets.
