We all tend to forget things that are not recurrent. For examples, when we move, we fail to collect security deposits from a telephone company, a gas company, an electric company, etc. According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA), there are over $32 billion worth of unclaimed properties, which include utility security deposits, stocks, bonds, mineral royalty payments, safe-deposit boxes, checking accounts, various financial accounts, insurance payments, savings accounts, and annuities. The government has a lost-and-found department for literally every category there is.

The payoff for your search could result in extra money to pay your bills in this terrible economy. Shall we try to get some of those money assets that rightfully belong to us?
