State Treasurer Encourages Missourians to Check Unclaimed Property List

State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick wants to return millions of dollars in unclaimed property to thousands of Missourians.  

The names of more than 129-thousand residents, small businesses and non-profits with unclaimed property are being released today (Monday) in 100 newspapers across the state. 

They can also be searched by county at ShowMeMoney-dot-com. 

Most of the unclaimed property is cash from bank accounts, stocks,  bonds, and contents of safe deposit  boxes that have been abandoned.  

Fitzpatrick says one in ten Missourians has unclaimed property and the average return is 300 dollars.
