To reclaim unclaimed property that belongs to you, follow these steps:
Visit the appropriate state's unclaimed property website or contact their unclaimed property office.
Search their database using your name and any other identifying information you have to see if you have unclaimed property.
If you find property that belongs to you, follow the instructions on the website or contact the office to begin the claims process.
Provide any necessary documentation or information to prove your ownership of the property, such as a valid ID, social security number, or proof of address.
Wait for the state to verify your claim and release the property to you.
If the property has been sold or used for government purposes, you may be entitled to receive the proceeds from the sale or compensation from the government. The process for reclaiming these types of property can be more complex and may require the assistance of an attorney or legal professional. It is important to act quickly and follow the instructions carefully to avoid missing any deadlines or requirements for reclaiming your unclaimed property.
