"Every day, someone loses some form of financial property because of a change of address, death, or just plain forgetfulness. What happens to these forgotten funds? The Unclaimed Property Division is responsible for holding the abandoned or unclaimed funds or property until the rightful owner or heir is found. There is a one in 20 chance that you may have $100 or more coming to you from the state's unclaimed property fund and not know it." (excerpt from Minnesota Department of Commerce Website)
