The Detroit News. This means that right now, hiding within some web page, there could be news about unclaimed property due to you, your relatives or business. All you have to do is go claim it.
Unclaimed property is the blanket term given to abandoned assets, money or otherwise.
Perhaps you changed banks and forgot to close your savings or checking account. If the account has been inactive three to five years, those funds could now be unclaimed property. Usually, unclaimed property is turned over to the state or federal government by financial institutions, until the rightful recipient recovers them or until the property is sold at auction. For this, some finders charge up to 50 percent of the sum recovered. Here's where the Internet can help.
