Find Abandoned Assets in Idaho – Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

Generally when people think of the state of ID, what do they usually think of? Potatoes of course. Piles and piles of potatoes. But there is also a huge pile of another item that you might say is "no small potatoes" – Idaho unclaimed money. ID's lost money fund has risen to to the tremendous amount of $40 million and counting and all of this cash belongs to citizens wise enough to find it and claim it.

Most people find it hard to believe that average ID citizens have somehow just abandoned $40 million, and that Americans across the country have abandoned almost $40 billion (yes, with a "b", billion), but believe it or not, the odds that any given person is owed unclaimed property are greater than the odds that they aren't due a claim. The reason for this is that these forgotten funds come from such a large variety of sources. According to the web site of the ID State Tax Commission, the department charged with handling these assets: "These include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, traveler's checks, contents from deposit boxes, and more. Most of the assets are ones that people didn't know they had or just forgot about, and sometimes they are worth thousands of dollars."

In order for assets to be deemed abandoned or "unclaimed", it has to lie dormant for a time period that is specific to each state and type of asset. ID considers most types abandoned after 5 years of inactivity, though many are available for claiming after only one year.

Find ID Unclaimed Cash – Part 2 of 2

(Part 2 of 2)

In order for cash to be considered abandoned or "unclaimed", it must lie dormant for a time period that is specific to each type of asset and state. Idaho considers most types abandoned after 5 years of dormancy, though some are available to be claimed after only 1 year.

There are a handful of reasons why cash might go unclaimed, but it is generally simple as forgetting to leave a forwarding address for previous employers or financial institutions. If a piece of mail is returned to the sender, and the rightful owner doesn't contact the sending party within the dormancy period, the holder is then required by law to pass the funds along to the state.

The issue Idaho has, as do all other states, is reuniting lost assets with its rightful owners. Despite state awareness efforts and popular media coverage, most people are still simply not aware of unclaimed property. Even those that have heard about unclaimed property generally do not have any idea where to begin their search. There are a number of people actively searching, but even those people do not know all the methods they need to utilize to increase their odds of locating claims.

For the reasons noted above, Idaho is now holding over 40 million dollars in unclaimed property, and that figure is sure to grow, because more and more money is turned over to the state all the time and it exceeds the amounts given back to the citizens. For this reason, it is incredibly important that those who are interested in searching for missing monies, learn how expert finders find these monies, and then put those same tactics in to action in their own searches. There are right ways to search, and wrong ways to search, and until citizens figure out the difference there are a number of hurdles that can get between them and their money.
