The Michigan Department of Treasury has revealed a treasure trove of millions of dollars in unclaimed assets, comprising dormant bank accounts, forgotten uncashed checks, valuables left in safe deposit boxes, and neglected stock certificates.
These assets were deemed abandoned and unclaimed by the institutions initially entrusted with them, prompting their transfer to the state, as mandated by law. The Michigan Department of Treasury now stands as the custodian of these overlooked riches, committed to reuniting them with their rightful owners or heirs upon rightful claims. A simple query could unlock a windfall for those with forgotten treasures awaiting recovery.
Individuals are encouraged to search their name, a maiden name, or the name of a business or nonprofit. There is never a charge to search for and claim property.
