Does it cost anything to recover my property?
Private recovery agencies, tracers and other third party companies may offer assistance in locating your lost or abandoned property. While many of these companies provide a valuable service, you have to be careful about who you use and the fees that are charged. There is a wide range of fees that these companies charge and their services and results will also vary. We have provided links on this page to some of the leading companies in the industry. If you wish to search on your own, we have also provided an easy to use search engine to each state below. We do not charge any fee to use this service.

What is abandoned or unclaimed property?"
While state laws vary in periods of dormancy (inactivity), a wide range of reportable property includes but is not limited to dormant checking and savings accounts, un-cashed money orders, cashiers checks, unclaimed insurance benefits, mineral royalty payments, safe deposit box contents, unused gift certificates, unclaimed security deposits, cash dividends, stock, court deposits, and utility deposits.
What state should receive the property once it is identified?"
Unclaimed property is to be returned to the state of the property owner's last known address. If there is no owner's address associated with the property, then it should be returned to the state in which the business remitting the funds is incorporated. Therefore, you should search in any state in which you resided or in which you had property.
