West Virginia has unclaimed money regulations which declare money, property, and other assets to be abandoned after a certain period of inactivity. Once this time period has passed, companies, banks and other financial institutions are required to turn this money over to the West Virginia department of unclaimed money. By law, the unclaimed agency is required to send a notice to the last known address of the unclaimed money owner. In many cases, especially with death benefits, the person no longer resides at this address and the notice is returned to the state's unclaimed money office. In most states, the U.S. Government has one additional requirement they must fulfill. A public notice, usually in the form of a classified ad will list the unclaimed money owners name. Once this has been completed, if the rightful owner does not make a claim, the money will simply sit idle until the rightful owner or one of their heirs comes to make the claim.

Your unclaimed money search should include a complete database search of each state in which you or anyone you are searching for has ever lived or worked. In most cases, the property is turned over to the state in which it originated. Another trick is to pay close attention to where your employment company's home office is located. If you work only in West Virginia, yet your companies office is located in another, it is wise to search all related states.

Billions of dollars of dormant or lost accounts, better known as abandoned money have remained idle for years since 1955.

When searching the unclaimed money database, be sure to use various combinations of your name, such as maiden name, middle initials, and common misspellings. Upon starting your initial search, it is wise to search by last name only. You'll have to scroll through more names, however, you're more likely to find claims for more people in your family than you may have found otherwise. Just remember, human beings enter this information and they often make mistakes. Plus, first names are not always known at the time unclaimed money or property is reported, so at a minimum, search using last name and only first initial to ensure you find every penny owed to you.

One of the most common questions I get on my blogs and on my website from West Virginia residents is "how is it possible I have money or property owed to me I am unaware of?"

There are many ways people lose or misplace money. For example, when family members die and do not leave proper documentation, or had assets not known to other members of the family. Money gets lost when businesses go bankrupt, when someone has a lost bank account, relocation of job, address change without forwarding address, lost or undelivered mail from post offices, and a laundry list of other ways people misplace or lose track of their money. Many times, the owners have no idea they are due a claim.

Unclaimed money in West Virginia could be in the form of safe deposit box contents, checking and savings accounts, uncashed money orders, lost insurance policies, cashiers checks, safe deposit box contents, unclaimed insurance benefits, lost cash dividends, escrow accounts, lost stocks, bonds, CD's, trust funds, mutual funds, unclaimed bonds, security deposit, dividends, old utility deposits, and court deposits.
