Finding lost, abandoned, or unclaimed property is a genuine need for many family members who have taken on responsibility for the financial affairs of an older person. Unclaimed property may consist of dormant savings and checking accounts, contents of safe deposit boxes, life insurance policies, utility deposits and undistributed dividends, uncashed checks, securities, dividends, insurance refunds or claims, oil royalties, wages, utility refunds/ deposits, and bail bonds. Finding this property may be of critical importance if the original owner has forgotten, or is able to communicate, where these assets may be.
