Shirley Fowler, Administrator (919) 508-1000
Any business association in possession of property is a potential holder. This includes but is not limited to banks, insurance companies, utilities, corporations, government agencies, nonprofit organizations. Unclaimed property consists of bank accounts, wages, refunds, utility deposits, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, bonds, contents of safe deposit boxes, etc. that have been abandoned – that is, for which there have been no documented transactions or contact with the owners for a statutory period of time known as a dormancy period.
