The more people change addresses, jump from spouse to spouse (changing last names), jump from job to job, the more likely it is that they are going to lose track of some of their financial assets like inheritances from a relative that had passed away or tax refunds from the IRS. Even those that are aware of the possibility that they could have unclaimed funds in WA and other states often do not bother doing a search at all thinking it isn't worth the headache.

The Unclaimed Property Division collects over $55 million in lost or abandoned assets annually in WA State and that amount snowballs with each passing year. Study up on all the various ways to search, when you need to search, and what sites to search and get started tracking down money you might have coming ASAP! Who knows? For once, the government may owe you money this time instead of the other way around.
