How to find out if forgotten treasure is waiting for you

It’s called Florida’s unclaimed property. On FLTreasureHunt.gov, you can do a free search in about 30 seconds to see if you have any unclaimed property. RELATED: Treasure hunt: Unclaimed property may be waiting for you | There could be money waiting for you to claim itAccording to a private startup out of Gainesville called ClaimFound, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars unclaimed in Jacksonville alone. The only difference is they charge a percentage fee or a commission to help people find that money,” Prompovitch said. Say your name doesn’t show that you have any unclaimed property, that doesn’t mean there’s not something there.

There could be money waiting for you to claim it

You or your business may be struggling financially because of COVID-19, but there could be money just waiting for you to claim it. Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis says an estimated one in five Floridians have unclaimed property just waiting, and it doesn’t cost you a dime to get it back. “This is another amazing milestone for our Unclaimed Property Team, especially since our staff has been teleworking since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The most common types of unclaimed property are dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks, dividends, uncashed checks, deposits, credit balances and refunds. Unclaimed property assets are held by business or government entities (holders) for a set period of time, usually five years.

If I had not searched that website, I would not have found that money.”Along with individuals, 1.3 million businesses have unclaimed property totaling nearly half a billion dollars. And fear not, if the state has already sold your treasure, you’re still entitled to the money that it brought in.
