State Treasurer Joe Perry has announced over $396 million in unclaimed property is being held by the Office of the Treasurer. This money belongs to Mainers and is waiting to be claimed.
The Unclaimed Property Fund includes money and other financial assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner can’t be located after a specified period of inactivity. Mainers are owed totals ranging from $10 to thousands of dollars.
Each year, tens of millions of dollars go unclaimed by Maine residents. These financial assets are turned over by thousands of national and local businesses and organizations. The Treasurer’s Office holds these assets, free of charge, until claimed by the owner or heir.
To see if you have unclaimed property in the possession of the State, use the Maine Unclaimed Property search tool.
NOTE: Occasionally, abandoned Grange property will show up! You may want to check your Grange!
