Missing Asset Search - Trace an Unclaimed Inheritance

 
Assets become legally abandoned after the original owners or rightful heirs fail to 'communicate an interest' in them over a period of time. The period of time that must pass before an asset is considered legally abandoned - the 'dormancy period' - is set by law. It varies with the type of property involved, but generally runs one to five years.

If, at the end of the dormancy period, there has been no owner directed activity, those holding the assets transfer them to the protective custody of a government trust account in a process known as escheat. Last year alone, trustees collected $22.8 billion, of which less than $916 million was claimed by owners or heirs.

Most people have no idea they're entitled to collect a share of billions of dollars in unclaimed money sitting in government coffers. Think it couldn't be you? Think again! You may have simply forgotten about a savings account or an unredeemed savings bond. Perhaps records were lost due to theft, fire or flood. Maybe you never even knew you were named an heir or beneficiary in a relative's will or life insurance policy!

If you've moved, taken a new job, or changed name after marriage or divorce, it may be difficult to locate you. And sometimes being declared 'missing' can result from computer or clerical errors, or even after the expiration of a forwarding order from the post office.
