So What Is Unclaimed Property?
Unclaimed property, also known as "abandoned" stuff, is either property or accounts held within financial institutions or companies—where there has been no activity generated (or no contact with the owner) regarding the property for one year or longer (varies depending on the state). The three most common forms of unclaimed property are bank and credit union savings, checking accounts, stocks, and uncashed dividends.
When is my property considered "unclaimed"?
After a legally defined period (called the dormancy period, which varies depending on the state), where there is no activity on an account or contact with the owner, the property becomes "unclaimed," and, by law, this property must turn over to the state where the property held.
