Unclaimed property – It’s not a matter of “finders, keepers”

Description

Abstract: Every dealership has assets that are in a kind of limbo — long-forgotten checks to customers and other valuables that no one else has claimed. A dealership might be giving little thought to these financial assets, and perhaps improperly treating them as a type of revenue. But the state may try to collect this “unclaimed property.” This article explains the expectations that some states might have of businesses in regard to reporting it.
