| The contents of safe deposit boxes with
expired leases and no further rental payments or claims
eventually revert to state control, but dormancy periods
vary widely by state. Due to confidentiality concerns, both on the part of owners and the institutions where the boxes are located, this type of asset can be difficult to trace. Because many states auction the contents of escheated boxes after a number of years (although the cash received may always be available for claim, items of personal significance may be lost forever), prompt action is necessary. If you think a deceased family member may have had a box but don't know exactly where go to: Safe Deposit Box Search If you know the name of the bank where the box was held, but the branch has closed, it is possible the contents were transferred to a successor institution. To determine if this was the case, go to: Bank Search |
| Special Note: A growing number of unclaimed property websites list dates when safe deposit auctions are to be held, often generating a substantial amount of interest for items ranging from jewelry and collectible coins to historic papers and sports memorabilia. While the purpose of unclaimed property and escheat law is to preserve and protect lost and abandoned property, most statutes allow for the disposal of items that cannot be converted to cash, i.e. those with no commercial value. |
