MARQUETTE — Michiganders are encouraged to conduct a simple search online to see if they have any lost or abandoned property as a part of National Unclaimed Property Day on Sunday, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.

“I encourage Michiganders to take a moment to see if they have lost or unclaimed property,” said Terry Stanton, who oversees Michigan’s Unclaimed Property Program. “Even if you’ve checked recently, visit our website again–our database is updated multiple times throughout the year. You might discover money or assets waiting for you, and my team is ready to help you claim what’s yours.”

To find out if you have cash or property, go to Michigan’s Unclaimed Property website, which provides enhanced search options and the ability to upload verifying documentation easily and securely. Individuals who live–or have lived–outside of the state of Michigan can check multiple states’ unclaimed property listings at www.UCPday.com.

Treasury has millions of dollars in lost or forgotten assets that include dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, valuables left in safe deposit boxes and stock certificates. These properties were all turned over to the state once they were determined to be abandoned as required by law.
