Utah may be called the Beehive State, but the Utah State Treasurer's Office is holding a treasure that's sweeter than any honey you've ever tasted. Each year millions of dollars in missing money is handed over to the state treasury dept. in the form of Utah unclaimed money. As of 2005, the state treasury held more than $100 million, waiting for the rightful owners to step forward and take back what technically already belongs to them.

Though it is difficult for most people to accept that this money is real, because it is seems impossible that people could somehow "forget" about such large sums of money, but in fact unclaimed funds comes from assets and accounts most of us have and use on a regular basis. Though there are dozens of different types, the Utah State Treasury's web site lists the following as the most common sources of lost money: checking accounts, certificates of deposit, overpayments, gift certificates, paid-up life insurance policies, unpaid wages, commissions, uncashed checks, death benefits, dividends, insurance payments, money orders, refunds, savings accounts, stocks and contents of safe deposit boxes.

What the majority of people do not realize, even after they are in the know about the reality of unclaimed funds, is that there are actually only a few web sites that offer the official state records. To start with, most of those web sites are not reliable to the point that a resident would be completely wasting their time to try to use them. But even the official state databases are often incomplete for a variety of reasons. For one, each kind of property has its own dormancy period, or period of time that must go by before law requires the holder to turn the asset over to the state. Even after monies are handed over to the state, an employee must manually add the record to UT's unclaimed funds listings. For this reason, search results not showing any claims may be misleading if the record just hasn't been handed over or the state hasn't added it to their records.

Despite these hurdles, and many others that that frustrate beginners, people can learn the search tactics of professional searches and utilize them in their own searches. Far too often, citizens jump in to the unclaimed asset game without knowing where to begin and they spoil their own potential for locating lost treasure. If everyone would spend just a little time educating themselves on where to search, and how often they should search, everyone would stand a better chance of taking back money that is technically already theirs, instead of letting it collect dust in some government office.

While tracking down forgotten funds can be easy for those that know what they are doing, there are dozens of obstacles that can and quite often do get in the way of people trying to locate their funds. Most of these obstacles amount to being uninformed about how to perform complete searches to be sure all possible claims have been found. When getting started, it is often easy to fall in to the trap of just searching once and accepting the search results as the beginning and end of a search. The second biggest mistake is believing that all search web sites are alike.

While tracking down forgotten funds can be easy for those that know what they're doing, there a lot of obstacles that can and quite often do get in the way of people trying to locate their funds. Most of these issues relate to being uninformed about how to perform thorough searches to make certain that all possible claims have been found. When starting out, it's often easy to make the mistake of just searching one time and accepting the search results as the beginning and end of a search. The second biggest mistake is believing that all search websites are the same.

What the majority of people do not realize, even once they're aware of the reality of unclaimed money, is that there are actually only a few websites that offer the official state records. For starters, most of those websites are unreliable to the point that a person would be totally wasting their time to try to use them. But even the official state records are often incomplete for a variety of reasons. For one, each type of property has its own unique dormancy period, or the amount of time that must go by before law requires the holder to hand the asset over to the state. Even after monies are turned over to the state, someone needs to physically add the record to UT's unclaimed money listings. For this reason, search results not showing any claims may be misleading if the property just hasn't been turned over or the state hasn't added it to their system.

Despite these hurdles, and many others that plague beginners, people can learn the search strategies of expert searchers and utilize them in their own searches. Quite often, citizens jump in to the unclaimed asset game not knowing where to begin and they mess up their own potential for locating lost treasure. If everyone would spend just a little time educating themselves on where they should search, and how often they should search, everyone would stand a better chance of taking back money that is technically already theirs, instead of allowing it to collect dust in some government office.
