Step 1: Identify property

You will need to identify all property that has become abandoned or unclaimed.

Property becomes abandoned when it has reached its dormancy period, a specified period per property type in which the owner has not taken any action on the property. Property should be identified early enough to meet the reporting deadline each year. The Complete Reporting Guide contains class codes and dormancy period charts to assist you.

Step 2: Attempt to locate the owners

By law, you must make a good faith effort to contact the owner regarding the unclaimed property, prior to reporting it to the state.

The Complete Reporting Guide contains resources including sample due diligence letters to help you attempt to contact the property owners.
