Unclaimed Property is a financial asset owed to an individual or business. Property is considered unclaimed when there has been no owner contact for a specified period of time, usually between 1 and 3 years.
The purpose of the Unclaimed Property Unit is to efficiently and effectively collect, safeguard, and distribute unclaimed property to the rightful owners through prompt and courteous service, and to provide education to the public and holders about Unclaimed Property Laws.
Have you forgotten about a checking or savings account, an old uncashed check, stock, safe deposit box, etc.?
The State of Arizona holds unclaimed property as a custodian for the rightful owner.
The state will return property to owners who provide proof showing their right to claim the property.
