Locating Unclaimed Assets in HI – Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

Believe it or not, the contiguous 48 states are not the only ones taking part in the multi-billion dollar unclaimed money bonanza. Hawaii unclaimed money has now surpassed the massive amount of $130 million! The greatest part is, this money isn't a gamble, citizens are either owed a claim or they are not, and if they are, the only obstacle standing between them and their lost cash is the knowledge of how to track the money down.

Among the dozens of potential sources of Hawaii unclaimed money, the Dept. of Budget and Finance names the most common types as uncashed checks, dormant (no activity for 5 years) checking and savings accounts, contents of safe deposit boxes, and stock certificates.

Hawaii continues to hold a massive amount of money remaining unclaimed because people just have not learned about reality of unclaimed money. Too often people dismiss missing money as some sort of scam, because we're always told "there's no such thing as free money" so many times. Among those who are aware of these lost assets, most are not informed about the proper way to perform a thorough search for them.

Even for those few who have been able to track down their cash, the state of Hawaii has them trying so hard to prove their identities, that they are very often left not reunited with their money, despite the fact that they know that it's there. Hawaii requires owners of unclaimed money to have a number of identifying documents as evidence that they're the rightful owners of the cash, and to demonstrate that they truly did live at the last known residences listed in the records they have on file. The moral of the story is that if you're attempting to claim forgotten funds in Hawaii, keep as detailed records as possible, or the experience of taking your money back could be more of a headache than it's worth.

Even for the handful of people who have been able to track down their assets, the state of HI has them jumping through so many hoops to prove their identities, that they are often left not having claimed their money, despite the fact that they know that it is there. HI requires owners of unclaimed money to have a number of identifying documents as evidence that they're the rightful owners of the money, and to prove that they truly did live at the last known addresses listed in the records they have on file. The long and the short of it is that if you're hoping to take back forgotten funds in HI, keep as detailed records as possible, or the process of taking back your money may be more of a headache than it is worth.

Beyond struggling to prove their identities to the state, citizens of HI have a number of issues that can hurt their unclaimed asset searches. For example, most Hawaiian's who've previously lived in any other state often don't realize that the state of HI would have absolutely no record of any missing cash in another state. So if a person living in HI once resided in Ohio, they would have to check Ohio's databases, or the records of any other state they had lived in.

Beyond just searching outside of the Hawaiian Islands to track down cash owed to them, many people still struggle to find their money because they just don't have any idea how to go about their search within the state. One of the largest problems is that searchers often search only one time and then never come back to matter again. The issue with doing this, is that any assets that have notbeen turned over to the state, because their dormancy periods have not expired, will not show up in any state listings, because the state doesn't even know that they exist. Many times even after the funds have been turned over, the state has not added the record to their unclaimed money list, so once again, a state record search would be fruitless. In both of these cases, a person could search the next day, week or month, and possibly find a record, but most people just call it quits after one search.

For more tips on circumventing problems that often prevent searchers from locating their unclaimed money, Hawaiian residents would benefit greatly from seeking assistance from an unclaimed money expert to aid them in navigating the maze of reclaiming what already belongs to them.

One of the main problems is that searchers often search only one time and then never come back to matter again. The issue with doing this, is that any properties that haven'tbeen handed over to the state, because their dormancy periods haven't passed, will not show up in any state records, because the state doesn't even know that they exist. Sometimes even after the funds have been handed over, the state has not added the listing to their unclaimed property list, so once again, a state database search would be pointless. In both of these situations, a person could search the next day, week or month, and find their record, but the majority of people simply quit after a single search.

Even for the handful of people who have been able to locate their funds, the state of HI has them jumping through so many hoops to prove their identities, that they are often left not reunited with their money, even though they know it's there. HI requires owners of unclaimed funds to have a number of supporting documents to prove they're the true owners of the cash, and to prove that they truly did live at the last known addresses listed in the records in the state database. The long and the short of it is that if you're attempting to claim abandoned assets in HI, keep records as diligently as possible, or the experience of taking your money back might be more of a pain than it's worth.
