Administered by the State Treasurer, the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is the State's only legitimate unclaimed property source. Unclaimed property includes, but is not limited to, forgotten checking and savings accounts, uncashed checks, lost stocks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits and contents from abandoned safe deposit boxes.
When businesses and entities are unable to locate the rightful owner of a property, it is reported to the State as unclaimed. The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt then works to locate the owner or heir of the assets so individuals can collect what is rightfully theirs.
Celebrate National Unclaimed Property Day by sharing information about the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt to friends and family. Be sure to follow the Treasurer on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the Feb. 1 celebration.
