Frequently asked questions

Search unclaimedproperty.ehawaii.gov, then file a claim as the heir with proof of death and an Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property of the Decedent under Haw. Rev. Stat. 560:3-1201 and 560:3-1202. Claiming securities also requires IRS Form W-9.

No. A power of attorney does not authorize someone to file a claim on behalf of a deceased reported owner. Heirs claim through the deceased-owner process with proof of death and authority.

Most property is held until it is claimed, but under Act 184 (Session Laws of Hawaii 2014) funds under $100 must be claimed within 10 years of deposit into the trust fund or they escheat to the State.
