Frequently Asked Questions
Yes β completely free. We link directly to official state government databases. You never need to pay anyone to search or claim your own unclaimed property. Be cautious of third-party services that charge fees; the official state process is always free.
When financial accounts or assets go inactive β usually after 3β5 years β the holding institution (bank, insurer, employer) is required by state law to transfer the funds to the state treasury. This commonly happens after people move, change their name, or simply forget about old accounts.
Requirements vary by state, but typically you'll need government-issued photo ID, proof of your Social Security Number, and documentation connecting you to the property (such as old account statements or a prior address). The state treasury website will walk you through their specific process.
Processing times vary by state. Most straightforward claims are resolved within 30 to 90 days. Claims requiring additional documentation can take longer. You can usually check the status of your claim online through your state's treasury website.
Yes. Heirs and legal representatives can claim property on behalf of deceased individuals. You'll typically need a death certificate, will or letters of administration, and proof of your relationship to the deceased. Check each state's specific requirements.
Absolutely. Property is held by the state where the original business operated or where your last known address was on file β not necessarily where you live now. The "Search All States" tab makes it easy to run a multi-state search in one step.
