• Mostly, it's money but it can be any financial asset that has not been claimed by its owner or has not had any owner-generated activity for a specific time period (one to five years for most items). Unclaimed Property is not a real estate.


• Typically, Unclaimed Property is generated when people lose or fail to cash a check or forget to alert their bank or stockbroker when they move. Any company or organization that writes checks, drafts or warrants, has the potential to possess unclaimed property.


• Examples Include:
  
  
  • Payroll Checks
  • Refunds & Overpayments
  • Money Orders
  • Bank Accounts
  • Stocks & Bonds
  • Safe Deposit Box Contents
  • Insurance Proceeds


• The state serves as a permanent custodian of the property until the rightful owner is found. The money is held in general fund for the benefit of all citizens of Kansas.
