Dear Friend:

In order to protect consumers, RI State law requires businesses to turn over inactive financial accounts to the Office of the General Treasurer. Currently, we are holding more than $124 million in unclaimed property. Some of this money could belong to you! Many people do not realize they have unclaimed property. To make it easy for you to determine whether or not you may have unclaimed property click here to search our unclaimed property database. You can also view a tutorial on How to Search the Unclaimed Property Database.

I also want to give you a warning. Some organizations, known as "heirfinders", will contact you and offer to recover your unclaimed property for a fee. Please remember that this is a service provided free of charge by the Office of the General Treasurer. So hurry, there may be treasure waiting for you!

Sincerely,
Frank T. Caprio
General Treasurer
