Unclaimed property claim deadlines by state

  1. Claim deadlines, state by state
  2. Sources

States generally hold unclaimed property in custody for the owner. The state administrators' association opposes time limits on owners' claims and says owners have the right to reclaim their money in perpetuity61. Each state's law still decides; read your state's rule, especially for estates, savings bonds and safe deposit box contents.

"No deadline" means the first sentence of the state's rule says claims never expire. Where the rule lists exceptions, the second tag says so. Even with no deadline, a state may sell securities or auction safe deposit box contents; you then receive the sale proceeds. A dash means the official sources we could check do not state the rule.
