Property List
The State of Connecticut has released the newest Big List for unclaimed property. You can access the list here at State of Connecticut Big List.

Connecticut’s Big List is from the state treasurer’s office and is searching for the 34,767 newest owners of as much as $401 million in unclaimed funds waiting for them in the unclaimed property division.

Connecticut’s Big List is released by Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier. The Big List has current or former residents and businesses that have un-cashed checks, insurance policies, dormant balances in old checking and savings accounts and much more. Un-claimed wages and contents of unclaimed safety deposit boxes are on this list also.

Nappier said that this year, the list of individuals and businesses with dormant assets has grown to 887,000.

“The treasury is one of the few agencies in government with an express mission to give money back,” she said. “We have millions of dollars waiting to be returned to rightful owners.”

Copies of the insert will be in newspapers and have also been provided to town halls and public libraries throughout Connecticut. You can also access the Big List on line at www.CTBigList.com.

There is an unclaimed property list for almost every state. Many people have reclaimed money, some in very large amounts that they were unaware of even existing.

If the person who is the rightful owner is deceased, there is a process for the next of kin to claim the property. It is simple, and involves proving your relationship through birth certificates and other easily accessible papers.

Search your state today. The Big List for The State of Connecticut has just added new accounts and money to their list. It has existed for years and has been available on line to search. The same goes for the other states. You can find these lists through the official state site, treasurer’s page.
