Read an Excerpt

Did you ever open a school savings account as a child or for your own child and then forget about it, move without getting your utility deposit refund, forget to cash a health insurance check, neglect to cash interest or dividend checks on a security, leave a job and never go back to get your last pay check or fail to notify companies who owe you money that you have moved? Currently, over $35 billion in unclaimed property is held by state and federal agencies across the United States. One in eight Americans is owed unclaimed property.
