What is unclaimed property?
Unclaimed Property consists of money and other personal assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner cannot be located after a specified period of time. It includes checking accounts, certificates of deposit, overpayments, gift certificates, paid-up life insurance policies, unpaid wages, commissions, uncashed checks, death benefits, dividends, insurance payments, money orders, refunds, savings accounts, stocks and contents of safe deposit boxes. Unclaimed Property does not include real estate.
How does property become unclaimed?
Generally, most property is presumed to be abandoned if no activity has been made for five years. Wages, government checks and utility deposits become unclaimed after only one year.
How can I prevent my property from becoming unclaimed?
Keep accounts active and make sure that at least every five years you make a deposit, withdrawal, or contact your financial institution. Leave a forwarding address if you relocate.
Is there a deadline for making a claim?
No. You can make a claim any time, since unclaimed property is kept in a custodial capacity until the rightful owner or heir can be found.
Is there a charge or fee for this program?
No. There is no fee for this service whether or not property is found under your name. It is the goal of the Treasurer to make every reasonable effort to locate the rightful owner of Unclaimed Property.
Unclaimed Property Division
The Unclaimed Property Division is a state agency under the direction of the State Treasurer that is responsible for collecting, safeguarding and returning lost or forgotten property to its rightful owner or heirs.
What is Unclaimed Property?
Each year, millions of dollars in bank accounts, stock certificates, checks, insurance checks, bonds and dividends are turned over to the State of Utah because the owners cannot be located. Some of this money could belong to you!
It may take only a couple minutes of your time to see if you or a family member is listed. It's easy, it's free and it's yours.
