What are unclaimed assets?
Unclaimed funds aka assets are any financial asset, being held for a person or entity that has yet to be claimed by the rightful owner. Currently across the nation, the total value of unclaimed assets in state custody is approximately $50 billion. In most cases the rightful owners or their heirs are unaware these assets exist. Therefore, they often unknowingly forfeit them to the government due to a lapse in statute of limitations. Unclaimed assets are not classified as real estate, abandoned personal property, or lost and found items but can include: dormant savings and checking accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs) .
