As of September 2007, Nevada's state treasurer, Kate Marshall stated that the state of Nevada currently holds over $200 million in Nevada unclaimed money which is owed to 700 thousand residents. And despite recent changes in the system, after a lot of criticism in 2006, the Nevada unclaimed property division continues to take in more money than it returns annually.

According the Marshall, the state has increased its unclaimed property returns to 350-700 claims per week. That's not anything to sneeze at, and Nevada's state treasury department is to be praised, but when we consider that at that rate it would take twenty to forty years before they could ever return all claims currently listed, it's nothing to get terribly excited about, particularly once you take in to account the amount of additional money that would come in over those twenty to forty years!!!

This all boils down to the fact that people can't expect NV to reunite them with their money. Residents of Nevada need to take action themselves, if they ever want to be certain that they're searching thoroughly and investigating all potential sources of Nevada unclaimed property. The state has without a doubt stepped up their efforts, but they have a long way to go, and I think we can all agree that we the people are much more efficient than any gov agency could ever hope to be.

The most common types of unclaimed funds are as follows in Nevada: Stocks, Checking/Savings Accounts, Death Benefits, Vendor Checks, Over-Payments, Paid-in-full Life Insurance, Certificates of Deposits, Unpaid Wages, Uncashed Checks, Credit Balances, Money Orders, Dividends, Refunds, Insurance Payments, Commissions, Customer Deposits, Gift Certificates. If you or anyone you know has ever held one of these, you should learn the right way to search for abandoned assets.

The following are the most common types of unclaimed property in Nevada: Checking/Savings Accounts, Stocks, Over-Payments, Vendor Checks, Death Benefits, Paid-in-full Life Insurance, Certificates of Deposits, Unpaid Wages, Uncashed Checks, Credit Balances, Money Orders, Refunds, Dividends, Commissions, Insurance Payments, Gift Certificates, Customer Deposits. If you or anyone you know has ever held one of these, you owe it to yourself to learn the right way to track down missing money.

Each of the different types of unclaimed property sources listed above has its own individual dormancy period. The dormancy period is the amount of time that must pass before the abandoned property can be considered "unclaimed" and turned over to the state. Depending on the type of asset, the dormancy period may be anywhere from 1 to 15 years. The reason this is important to know is because traditional online searches will not show a record unless the dormancy period has passed, and the state treasury has taken control of your funds.

Aside from the fact that the dormancy period has to go by before there can be any kind of online record of your assets, there's also the issue of when Nevada updates their unclaimed property records. Databases aren't updated on a daily basis, so you can not be confident in your search if you look and do not track anything down one day, and the state just happens to not add your record until the following day, week, month, or even year. For this reason, rule #1 of locating missing money is to search often.

On top of the other issues mentioned, not all assets owed to Nevada citizens is in the state of Nevada. Many people have lived in other states before relocating to Nevada, while others have had dealings with out of state entities, even if they didn't realize it. For example, a lot of companies have locations and/or offices in a number of different states, but they're headquartered in just one state. The same can be said of insurance carriers. Even if a company has locations in twenty states, including Nevada, if the company they use for insurance benefits for employees is located in another state, Nevada wouldn't ever have a listing for that money.

Beyond the issues raised above, there are numerous other problems that people often run in to when looking for unclaimed property in Nevada, which makes it all the more imperative that you get expert assistance in tracking down your money.

As of September 2007, Nevada's state treasurer, Kate Marshall confirmed that the state of Nevada is currently holding more than 200 million dollars in Nevada unclaimed money that belongs to 700,000 Nevadans. And despite recent changes, after a lot of criticism in 2006, the Nevada unclaimed property division continually takes in more cash than it returns.

Marshall notes that Nevada has increased its unclaimed property returns to 350-700 claims per week.

The fact is that people can not expect the state of Nevada to do the legwork in returning their funds. Residents of Nevada need to take matters in to their own hands, if they ever want to be certain that they're searching thoroughly and investigating all possible sources of Nevada unclaimed property. The state treasury definitely has no doubt increased their efforts, but they have a long way to go still, and I think we can all agree that we the people are much more efficient than any government agency could ever hope to be.

On top of the other issues mentioned, not all money owed to Nevada citizens is in the state of Nevada. Some people may have lived in different states before relocating to Nevada, while others may have had relationships with out of state corporations, even if they didn't realize it. For example, many companies have locations in a number of different states, but they are headquartered in just one particular state. The same can be said of insurance carriers. So even if a particular company has locations in 20 states, including Nevada, if the company they use for employee insurance benefits is headquartered in some other state, Nevada wouldn't ever have a record of that cash.

In addition to the issues raised above, there are countless other problems that people often run in to when searching for unclaimed money in Nevada, which is why it is all the more imperative that you get expert advice in locating your money.
