The general process is in our how to claim guide.

Documents you need, by situation

These are the official requirements. The claim form for a specific property can ask for more.

Claiming your own property

• General / who may claim: Only the original owner, or a legal heir if the owner is deceased, may claim; claim form tells you what proof is needed.²
• Individual (paper route): The office sends a claim form with instructions on the documents needed to establish ownership.²
• All claims (statute): Claim form is prescribed by the Treasurer, signed by the claimant and made under oath or affirmation.⁹

The owner has died (estate)

• Heirs may claim; for estates that were not probated the Treasurer uses its notarized Table of Heirship. Small-estate affidavit thresholds are not cited by the program.⁷
• Deceased owner, estate not probated (heir): Complete the Table of Heirship listing all relatives (spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, nieces/nephews), sworn under penalty of perjury and notarized.⁷

A business or government agency

• Government agency: Affidavit and Agreement on agency letterhead, certifying ownership and the signer's authority, agreeing to answer to any later claimant with a superior right and to indemnify the Treasurer; notarized.¹⁰

Securities, safe deposit boxes and other cases

• U.S. savings bonds held by the Treasurer: Search the savings bond database; a match gives you an electronic form to email to the Treasurer.¹¹

Not listed in the official sources we checked: a former address or a name change. The claim form shows what to send.

• Gift cards: Gift certificates, credit memos and credit balances redeemable in merchandise only are reported at 60% of face value; the Treasurer pays the owner the full face value.²⁰
• Published lists of owners: Each year the Treasurer publishes the names and last known addresses of new owners in a newspaper in each county, and posts the same lists online by county; owners due $50 or more are also mailed a notice.²¹
