Securities Unclaimed Property

Securities property includes forgotten stock shares, bond interest payments, dividend checks, and dormant brokerage accounts. This happens when companies can't locate shareholders after mergers or when investors move without updating their address with investment firms.

These assets go unclaimed when people forget about small stock holdings, inherit investments they don't know about, or lose track of accounts after major life changes like divorce or job transitions. Many belong to retirees who held multiple small investment accounts over decades.

With an average claim of $85.11, most represent modest holdings like fractional shares or accumulated dividends. You'll need photo ID, proof of your old address, and any documentation showing your connection to the investment account or company.
