New Hampshire might be nicknamed The Granite State because of its number one, and incredibly valuable natural resource, but there is another hidden treasure in this New England state that is less known. New Hampshire unclaimed money, many millions in fact, belonging to residents of the state is being held by the NH State Treasurer, waiting for the rightful owners who only need to come forward and claim what is technically already theirs'.

NH citizens are familiar with freezing weather and their beautiful White Mountains, but they can swoosh down the mountains of cold hard cash if they just learn about how to locate and claim abandoned assets already owed to them. The first obstacle is just hearing about the existence of the phenomenon of unclaimed money. Sadly, most people are still not aware of the fact that there are tens of billions of dollars in state treasurer's departments across the nation, just waiting to be found. Beyond just being aware of these monies, people have to know where and how to search for them, or they could waste a lot of time and energy without getting anything in return.

The reasons unclaimed funds are often hard to locate are numerous, but among the most common are the lack of knowledge of the searcher on which sites to use and how often they should search.

There are a number of different kinds of property that can become abandoned and classified "unclaimed", but the state treasury's site names the following as some of the more common: Stocks, Certificates of Deposit, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Refunds, Gift Certificates, Payroll, Wages, Commissions, Salary, Death Benefits, Uncashed Checks, Insurance Payments, Dividends, Paid-up Life Insurance Policies, Money Orders, Demutualization Proceeds, Deposits. Each type of account can only be classified as "unclaimed" (and passed along to the state) after it has seen no activity for a specified period of time, which is unique among each type. These dormancy periods are typically between 1 and 5 years in NH, depending on the type of property.

There are many different types of assets that can become abandoned and classified "unclaimed", but the state treasury's website names the following as some of the more common: Certificates of Deposit, Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Gift Certificates, Refunds, Wages, Payroll, Salary, Commissions, Uncashed Checks, Death Benefits, Dividends, Insurance Payments, Money Orders, Paid-up Life Insurance Policies, Deposits, Demutualization Proceeds. Each type of account can only be considered "unclaimed" (and passed along to the state) after it has been dormant for a specified period of time, which is unique for each type. These dormancy periods are typically 1 to 5 years in New Hampshire, depending on the account type.

Due to the fact that each account type has its own period of dormancy, a person may search for money owed to them on a particular day, when their account hasn't been handed over to the state, so the state will not have a record of it. Many times, people give up at this point, not knowing that their assets might be handed over to the state the next year, or even 5 years down the road. Additionally, the state's records have to be manually updated by a state employee, so the accuracy of the records isn't always the best, because there isn't someone adding listings in real time.

All of the issues with when a claim actually gets listed in the state's records will not matter if a resident doesn't have any idea where to search. Most people just search any web site that provides a search box, but hardly any of those sites have any legitimate listings. Most of those so called "databases" are anything but. Choosing and unclaimed funds website to perform your searches on is key. Equally important is perfecting the search strategies used by professionals in the missing money field, and utilizing them in your own searches.
