Unclaimed property refers to assets or funds that have been abandoned by their owners for a certain period of time, typically several years. This can include bank accounts, stocks and bonds, insurance policies, safe deposit box contents, and uncashed payroll checks. 

State governments are responsible for holding and protecting unclaimed property until the rightful owners can be located. 

Owners of unclaimed property can reclaim their assets by submitting a claim to the appropriate state agency. If the unclaimed property remains unclaimed for a certain period of time, it may be sold at a public auction or used for government purposes.
