Unclaimed Property Blog

Each year millions of dollars in dormant or lost accounts go unclaimed in Maryland. If you know anyone who has ever moved or died, the state may be holding unclaimed cash, lost securities, bonds, refunds, insurance claims, deposits, jewelry or coins.

In addition to money and securities, the state’s holdings include tangible property such as watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps, historical items and other miscellaneous articles.

After certain kinds of assets have been dormant for three years or more (depending on which type), they are considered “unclaimed funds”, and the insurance company, financial institution, or corporation holding them has to turn them over to the State Comptroller’s Office.

If you feel the concept of free unclaimed money was a myth, then you need to give it a second thought, because according to a recent survey there are billions of dollars lying in the US treasury in the form of free unclaimed money.

This is not all for the volume of free unclaimed money is growing at an unprecedented rate across the United States of America with each state contributing its share.

In order to get your share of free unclaimed money, all you need to do is file a claim and reclaim your dues. You never know, you might become rich by simply unearthing your hidden property and pave way for the others to follow suit.
