AZ Unclaimed Cash Search - Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

Mention Arizona and picturesque desert sunsets and multi-hued walls of the Grand Canyon usually pop in to people's minds. It's true, Arizona's giant Saguaro cacti and jagged horizons rival some of the world's greatest nature vistas, but there is a lot more to the 48th state than you might realize. A few lesser-known facts: Arizona is home to the beautiful ridge-nosed rattlesnake, the endangered Apache Trout (found only in the state), the Petrified Forest, and a whole bunch of pennies. Arizona leads the 50 states in copper production, but the Treasury Department has more than just pennies kicking around. Hundreds of millions of dollars in Arizona unclaimed money are waiting for their true owners to come and take them home. But sadly, most residents (and former residents) aren't even aware of the fact that these Arizona lost funds are out there.

AZ Unclaimed Assets Search - Part 2 of 2

(Part 2 of 2)

Unclaimed funds include financial assets like forgotten stocks and stock dividends, unclaimed insurance and retirement benefits, uncashed checks, bank accounts, even the contents of safe deposit boxes whose owners can not be found. The Unclaimed Money Law in AZ requires these to be handed over to the state if not given back to their rightful owners after a usual period of three years. The proceeds are then held by the state as unclaimed property claimable at any time, but if you had AZ unclaimed property in your name, wouldn't you want it now? Put the information age to work for you and find out if you are owed unclaimed property money without even having to go all the way downtown.


If you find out where to look, doing an internet unclaimed property search can be quick and easy. The key is learning from AZ unclaimed property experts and putting their tactics in to action to help track down your missing money.

AZ Unclaimed Assets Search - Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

Mention AZ and picturesque desert sunsets and multi-hued walls of the Grand Canyon usually pop in to people's heads. It's true, AZ's giant Saguaro cacti and jagged horizons are up there with some of the world's greatest nature vistas, but there is much more to the 48th state than meets the eye. A few lesser-known facts: AZ is home to the endangered Apache Trout (found only in the state), the Petrified Forest, the beautiful ridge-nosed rattlesnake, and a whole bunch of pennies. AZ leads the 50 states in production of copper, but the Treasury Department has more than just pennies kicking around. Hundreds of millions of dollars in Arizona unclaimed money are waiting for their true owners to come and take them home. But sadly, most current (and former) residents aren't even aware that these AZ missing monies are waiting for them.


Upon receiving a letter from Arizona's Department of Revenue, Jane Tressler was clueless about unclaimed property. "I got this letter and was really wondering why the Department of Revenue would need my Social Security number." the AZ resident said. "It was telling me I had possibly some unclaimed property. I've been racking my brain trying to think what it could be, but I've come up with nothing." After actually going down to the Dept. of Revenue to see if the letter was legit, Tressler was pleasantly surprised she was really owed unclaimed property from 10 shares of unredeemed Metlife stock that were worth $63 each. "Six hundred and thirty dollars, well that's OK!" exclaimed the once doubtful unclaimed property owner. There are many more people out there just like Tressler, according to Daniel Corcoran of the AZ Dept. Of Revenue Unclaimed Funds Division.


In this day and age of the world wide web, multi-cored home computers and PDAs that do everything short of walk your dog, one would think life would be more organized. The more gadgets and tools we have at our disposal however, the more things we have to think about and the more complicated we allow our lives to get. This might account somehow for the more than 400 million dollars in AZ state unclaimed property collecting dust in the Unclaimed Funds Division of the AZ Dept. of Revenue.
