The state of Florida estimates that One in five Floridians has unclaimed funds from a forgotten financial account, totaling nearly 2 billion dollars in unclaimed funds.

The state of Florida is holding cash and property belonging to Florida residents including money from old bank accounts, legal settlements, and deposits paid to utility companies.

They also hold on to unclaimed property like jewelry, coin collections and antiques.

Property that is unclaimed for at least 3 years after being found in abandoned safe deposit boxes goes to auction.

The money raised during the auction will still be yours – the state holds on to the cash until it’s claimed.

Last year Floridians claimed nearly 323 million dollars.

If you would like to find out if the state is holding any of your money, just go on-line to www.FLtreasurehunt.gov and type in your name.

It takes just a few seconds and you can see whether you have some money waiting for you.
