How To File A Claim For Funds Held By The State 

Click on the Account Number you wish to claim (in blue). You will be directed to a claim form based on the information we have on the property held by our Office.  We will require the following:

1.  Complete the Claimant Information fields on the form. Include your full name and current address.
2.  Print the form.
3.  Sign the form, and have your signature notarized by a licensed notary public.
4.  Mail completed form to our office. If proof of the address is requested, please enclose.  If you have proof of ownership, please enclose this as well.

If you are not the property owner, but are filing a claim on behalf of an owner (deceased, power of attorney, finders, businesses, etc), this Office may request additional documentation after your claim has been established.  If the owner is deceased, you must provide a copy of the death certificate in addition to proof of address.  Please see Frequently Asked Questions relating to claiming for estates.
