§ 1247. Report of unclaimed property

(a) A holder of property presumed abandoned shall make a report to the treasurer concerning the property.

(b) The report shall be verified and shall contain:

(1) a description of the property;

(2) except with respect to a traveler's check or money order, the name, if known, and last known address, if any, and the Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, if readily ascertainable, of the apparent owner of property of the value of $50.00 or more;

(3) an aggregated amount of items valued under $25.00 each;

(4) in the case of an amount of $50.00 or more held or owing under an annuity or a life or endowment insurance policy, the full name and last known address of the annuitant or insured and of the beneficiary;

(5) in the case of property held in a safe deposit box or other safekeeping depository, an indication of the place where it is held and where it may be inspected by the treasurer, and any amounts owing to the holder;

(6) the date, if any, on which the property became payable, demandable, or returnable, and the date of the last transaction with the apparent owner with respect to the property; and

(7) other information that the treasurer prescribes as necessary by rule for the administration of this chapter.

(c) If a holder of property presumed abandoned is a successor to another person who previously held the property for the apparent owner or the holder has changed its name while holding the property, the holder shall file with the report its former names, if any, and the known names and addresses of all previous holders of the property.

(d) The report shall be filed before May 1 of each year and cover the preceding calendar year.

(e) The holder of property presumed abandoned shall send written notice to the apparent owner, at no cost to the apparent owner, not more than 120 days or less than 60 days before filing the report, stating that the holder is in possession of property subject to this chapter, if:

(1) the holder has in its records an address for the apparent owner that the holder's records do not reveal to be inaccurate;

(2) the claim of the apparent owner is not barred by a statute of limitations; and

(3) the value of the property is $50.00 or more.

(f) Before the date for filing the report, the holder of property presumed abandoned may request the treasurer to extend the time for filing the report. The treasurer may grant the extension for good cause. The holder, upon receipt of the extension, may make an interim payment on the amount the holder estimates will ultimately be due, which terminates the accrual of additional interest on the amount paid.

(g) The holder of property presumed abandoned shall file with the report an affidavit stating that the holder has complied with subsection (e) of this section.

(h) Verification and affidavit, if made by a partnership, shall be executed by a partner; if made by an unincorporated association or private corporation, by an officer; and if made by a public corporation, by its chief fiscal officer or his or her designee. (Added 2005, No. 161 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
