"We may have something that belongs to you! In Connecticut, the Office of State Treasurer collects and safeguards money and other valuables which have been unclaimed by Connecticut residents for a specific period of time, generally three to five years.  Unclaimed assets include, but are not limited to: savings or checking accounts; un-cashed checks; deposits; stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares; travelers' checks or money orders; life insurance policies; and safe deposit box contents. The rightful owners or their heirs always have the right to the funds and there is no time limit to claim the money or property." (taken from Connecticut State Treasury Website)
