Have you ever opened a bank account and forgotten to close an old one? Have you ever moved house and forgotten about your security deposit? Maybe you’ve invested in shares and simply forgotten to claim your dividends. Maybe you’ve had insurance or family members deceased and simply forgotten to claim or where contact has been lost.
These things can be very easy to forget, and it happens all the time. When this money is left uncollected, businesses are required by law to turn these funds over to the government to be held in trust until the money is claimed.
Unclaimed money is money that has been identified as "Unclaimed" and is held in trust, by various authorities, until its rightful owner or representative comes forward to collect it. If this money is not collected within a certain period of time, the Government absorbs it ... and it can be nearly impossible to find then!
