Many people wonder what happens to unclaimed property when it is turned over to unclaimed property offices.
In most cases, unclaimed money and unclaimed property are used interchangably.
If for example, a deposit box contents are turned over to the state, the contents will be sold at auction and then become a monetary value for the unclaimed property owner.
In fact, just today, this story was reported fromTMJ channel 4 in Madison Milwaukee.
Because it was left in a bank’s safe deposit box and unclaimed, it’s now property of the state of Wisconsin and so are many other valuable items.
“It’s everything from Michael Jordan’s card when he played baseball to a signed Ted Williams card which is probably worth a lot of money,” Perkins said.
Megan Perkins works for the Treasurer’s Office.
“99 percent of the time it’s the owner of the box has passed away and didn’t let their heirs know they have this safe deposit box,” Perkins said.
The best part is you have the chance to buy some of the items. They all go on sale on eBay at noon Wednesday. more…

Here’s good news if you’re living or at one time or another have lived or worked
in Arkansas. State auditor Jim Wood is looking for over 200,000 Arkansans who
are owed money in the form of unclaimed property. According to Wood, �Ten
percent of the people in
Arkansas have unclaimed property here and all they have to do is come
forward to claim it” .
Unclaimed property comes from unreturnable checks due to change of addresses or
names, forgotten bank accounts,
unredeemed refunds and gift certificates and the like. After a dormancy
period which varies per state, escheat laws require the companies with these
lost assets to turn them over to the Treasury Department of each state.
Even if you haven’t been to Arkansas, the unclaimed department of the government
in that state may have money for you. Companies based there might have
turned-over your lost funds after unsuccessfully locating you after some years.
The U.S. Government right now has
nearly $40 billion in unclaimed property and experts say it belongs to 7 out
of 10 Americans.
