Welcome to the Massachusetts Abandoned Property Division web site.
It is estimated that one person in every ten has abandoned property. According
to the Massachusetts Abandoned Property Laws, most financial assets that have
been inactive for more than three years are declared “abandoned” and
turned over to the Commonwealth.
Many citizens have questions about abandoned property, such as why do states
have abandoned property laws and how do I file a claim for my property? With
this web site we seek to answer many of your questions and reunite abandoned
assets with its rightful owners.
This is a free service and there is no time limit for filing a claim. It is my
priority to make returning abandoned property as easy as possible.
Sincerely,
Timothy P. Cahill
Treasurer and Receiver General
