Unclaimed property laws have been around since at least the 1930s but have become much broader and more enforced in the last 15 years. Unclaimed property is one of the original consumer protection programs. Every U.S. state; the District of Columbia; Puerto Rico; the U.S. Virgin Islands and Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta in Canada have unclaimed property programs that actively find owners of lost and forgotten assets.
