Unclaimed property is increasing throughout the U.S., and many are unaware of where to find it. In a recent statement from the U.S. Supreme Court (Texas vs. New Jersey, 379 US 674, 1965), the unclaimed property is returned to the state of the property owner’s last known address. If the address cannot be found, then it is returned to the state in which the business holding the funds is incorporated.

It is the responsibility of the unclaimed property office to find the rightful owners, by placing advertisements in newspapers and trying to trace the owners. It has been observed that most states only advertise the new additions in their list. The good part is that there is no time limit on claiming your property.
