If you didn’t know, “Unclaimed Property,” including money that you are due, can and does commonly end up in the State of Arizona Treasurer’s office. If you had an old checking/savings account, stocks, bonds, escrow, and many, many other financial accounts, some of those accounts can have a balance. If the bank, financial institution, or mortgage company isn’t successful in finding you and they don’t look very hard, the money goes to the state and is listed on their web page under your name.
I recently checked, and there are a great number of Sun Lakes residents who have money being held by the State of Arizona. You should take a minute and check at azdor.gov/unclaimed-property. Type in your name and Sun Lakes, Arizona. You should check states where you have also lived in the past, as they, too, have the same type of website. It is easy to collect by clicking the “Claim” button next to your name.
