Bureau Of Unclaimed Money

It's not surprising that people get excited at the prospect of having an untold fortune lying around somewhere. Especially in today's economy having any extra cash lying around could prove to be very useful. The Bureau of unclaimed money is really referred to as the Bureau of unclaimed property. Each of the fifty states have their own bureau including Washington D.C. Each has a searchable website. I bet you would love to have a list of those websites. Well relax my friends because you will. I will provide a list of all fifty "one" Bureau of unclaimed money websites to you later in this lens. That's right! Fifty one. But we have a lof of information to cover so let's move on shall we?

It's ironic how the country is in such economic turmoil. Auto industry greats are going out of business, the real estate bubble has bursted the country is in a nasty recession and there are literally tens of billions of dollars lying around unclaimed. It's mind boggling isn't it? So just how big is the bureau of unclaimed money? Well currently the amount is estimated at over 35 billion nationwide with some estimates putting it closer to 40 billion dollars. WOW! That's a lot of unused money. Can you understand and possibly imagine now why it is possible that some of it may belong to you or someone you know? Let's read on to find out how you might be able to get a hold of some of this cash that you may unkowingly have lying around.

Again we are really talking about the bureau of unclaimed property. The term bureau of unclaimed money has really come about because most unclaimed funds are paid out in the form of money. I am writing the following information to give you a little insight as to how the unclaimed property system works. This is not legal advice. I strongly suggest you seek legal counsel if you are looking for legal advice.

The primary function of the Unclaimed Property Division of each state is to locate and return various forms of unclaimed financial property to the rightful owners or their heirs. The reasoning behind the law was so that the state can protect the rightful owners of the property. The concern was that these different businesses or institutions would keep your money and use it.

The state acts as a sort of guardian or custodian to watch over these assets until such time as they are returned to their rightful owners by way of claims made. The various state custodians were set up because of unclaimed property laws enacted by each state.

Unclaimed properties could be the result of many different things such as uncashed pay checks, forgotten bank accounts, unclaimed security deposits, unused gift certificates etc. Or they can also be attributed to for example IRS refunds that weren't paid maybe because people moved or got married and their names changed. Maybe individuals passed away and their heirs were not aware of their rightful ownership to these unclaimed properties.

As I said it is most often in the form of money, but it can also be stocks, mutual funds, coins, jewelry and contents of safe deposit boxes. The property could be from various different sources, that are usually referred to as holders. These holders could be credit unions, banks, utilities, corporations, retailers, insurance agencies and different governmental agencies throughout the United States.

This should get you thinking and your wheels spinning almost everyone has had a situation similar to at least one or more of the above examples. They say 7 in 10 Americans are due unclaimed funds in all 50 states. So how much can you claim? Is there a limit?

I read about a payout in New York to one individual in the amount of 1.2 million dollars. Holy Cow! To date in New York the records reflect that there is still $700,000 out there for one individual from various accounts that still remains unclaimed. There doesn't seem like there is a maximum claim amount does there? If there is it must be pretty high. These statistics refer to New York other states may vary. But in any event this sure as heck gets me excited. How about you?

I promised you that I would tell you where you could search for free. I also told you that you wouldn't want to. The reason why I told you that was because these types of searches can be very time consuming because you are searching one state at a time instead of searching across all of the states. Now having said that everyone that reads this lens usually races off and performs a search of their state immediately. Some come up empty handed. Some find money or property but then don't know how to go about claiming it.

There are right ways to claim your property and wrong ways. In addition even if you do not find any property it does not mean that you don't have any unclaimed propery. Read on in the next paragraph below and I will explain why.
