The state acts as a mere custodian of North Dakota Abandoned Property and doesn't claim its ownership over such property. Contrary to this, it tries to reunite such property with its original owners or legitimate heirs. The North Dakota Unclaimed Property Division makes efforts to return unclaimed funds and money to their rightful owners through several ways.
Advertising in county newspapers, radio and television, displaying a list of unclaimed property owners in trade shows, and sending direct mails to the last reported addresses are some of the activities carried out by the Division. But, the most important services in this regard is the maintenance of a searchable website of North Dakota Unclaimed Funds and Property. This website is updated frequently and can be searched conveniently by name and city.
