Recovering Unclaimed Property
Your Trusted Resource for Defining Your Property Rights
What is Unclaimed Property?
Unclaimed property is money or other assets that have been forgotten or left behind, like old paychecks that were never cashed, mineral royalty payments, life insurance proceeds, bank accounts that haven’t been touched in years, or refunds that never made it to the right person. Over time, if no one claims these assets, businesses are legally required to hand them over to the state.
That said, knowing your property rights matters. Whether you’re trying to recover what’s yours or making sure your business handles unclaimed property the right way, it’s important that you know what’s rightfully yours. At Unruh & Co., we’re here to help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence, so nothing valuable gets left behind.
How Do I Know I Have Unclaimed Property?
We know how easy it is to forget assets, especially when life gets busy. If you’ve moved, changed jobs, closed accounts, or even just overlooked a check, there’s a chance you could have unclaimed property waiting for you.
The best way to find out? Do a quick search through your state’s unclaimed property database. Most states have free, official websites where you can search using your name or the name of a deceased family member. It only takes a few minutes and could lead to a pleasant surprise.
