Understanding Escheatment And
How To Keep Your Property Safe
by Cynthia Nisley
(NAPSA)-If you have a bank
account, are holding uncashed checks,
own stock, are heir to an insurance
policy or have property in a safe-
deposit box, there are steps you can
take to help protect your property
from escheatment.
“Escheatment” is the term that
describes
how
“abandoned,”
“unclaimed” or “lost” property is
turned over to the state. If the proper-
ty owner cannot be found or hasn’t
demonstrated an interest in the asset,
the U.S. state where the holder lives
can take custody of those belongings.
If the owner or heir comes forward, he
or she can claim it back from the state
but early withdrawal penalties or mar-
ket losses may significantly affect the
asset’s value and the funds may not be
immediately available.
You may say, “But I haven’t aban-
doned my property. I don’t have any-
thing to worry about.” That’s not nec-
essarily so.
Consider the case of an employee
of a fast-growing technology company
who held stock certificates with a face
value of nearly $500,000. He kept the
certificates in a safe and intended to
use the funds for his kids’ college edu-
cation. Unknown to him, his stock
had been escheated due to returned
mail and lack of contact. His nest egg
was ruined and he was able to claim
just under $20,000, the amount the
state sold his stock for at the time of
escheatment.
Here are a few similar scenarios
that can happen to anyone:
• If you don’t cash dividend
checks, those checks and associated
stock may be escheated unless you
have made contact with the transfer
agent. Since most states sell shares
immediately, you will lose out on any
market gains, dividends or stock splits
that occur after the shares are sold.
• If you move and do not update
your address with your financial insti-
tution (such as a bank), it will mark
your account as “lost” once it receives
two pieces of undeliverable mail from
the post office. After three to five
years, depending on the state, your
assets will be escheated unless you
make contact with the institution.
• If you have a safe-deposit box
and never access it or make contact
with your bank, the contents of the
box may be turned over to the state
and sold at auction. You could claim
back the cash value-but not the valu-
ables themselves.
So how can you protect
your assets? Staying in con-
tact with your financial insti-
tutions is the key to protect-
ing your property. To active-
ly show interest in all your
assets:
1. Keep a list of all the
financial institutions you
deal with, such as a bank or
transfer agent, and contact Take steps to prevent the state from
