Re: What attempts are made by the holder and the state to find the rightful owner?
The first attempt to locate the owner is made by the holder. A notice is mailed to the owner's last known address.
Once the property has been reported to the state, the State Treasurer searches for the owner by publishing names of owners with $100 or more.
The State Treasurer uses other outreach opportunities including the internet, fairs, media, state conventions and malls to locate owners. City, county and state public officials are also important parts of owner outreach.
The State Treasurer serves as the custodian until the property is claimed.
Please contact me again if I can help in any way.
Best wishes,
