Assets become legally
abandoned after the original owners or rightful heirs fail to
'communicate an interest' in them. Failure to communicate an interest
in a bank account can arise when you do not make a deposit or
withdrawal over an extended period (as little as one year), when you fail to make
an owner-directed CD roll-over,
or when a statement or other official correspondence is returned by the
post office as undeliverable. This often occurs after the death of a
family member, name changes after marriage or divorce, expiration of a
mail forwarding order after a move, and even as a result of computer and
clerical errors. Did you or a family member have unclaimed money at a bank that moved, changed its name or closed? Don't assume that because your bank, savings and loan or credit union no longer exists that unclaimed funds are lost forever. Your account may have been transferred to a successor bank or a government custodian after a merger or acquisition. (For assistance with lost safe deposit boxes, go to: Safe Deposit Search) Even if your bank failed and closed its doors, under the terms of the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery & Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) you may still be entitled to collect insurance proceeds - up to $100,000 per account - from government regulators including NCUA and FDIC. Unclaimed money may be recovered after years of inactivity, even if a passbook is lost or destroyed, but you must act promptly to safeguard your rights, as some claims are subject to time limits.
