Property details

Learn about what each field on the Properties page means.

Property ID
A unique value that helps you identify this property. If the property is a cashier's check or any other outstanding check, enter the check number here.
Last owner activity date
The date of the owner's last interaction with the property. This is when the dormancy period will start. Examples of owner activity are the date a check was issued or the date of the last documented contact with an owner, such as the owner making a deposit to or withdrawal from their bank account.
Maturity date

The date when a property, for example, a bond has stopped or will stop accruing value and when the dormancy period starts. This date can be in the future.

Note:

We are not able to determine for you what date should be entered into the Last owner activity date or Maturity date fields. Different property types have different rules regarding what is considered activity. The following property types may need to consider multiple dates in a specific order of priority: securities, individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, gift certificates and stored value cards, and health savings accounts. Date determination is offered in our Unclaimed Property Services/Consulting tier. Contact us to learn more.
