State Unclaimed Property in Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Commerce holds unclaimed property — dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance payouts, and similar assets — until the owner or their heirs claim it. Heirs of a deceased owner file a claim on the form prescribed by the commissioner with proof of death and authority to act for the estate.
