State Unclaimed Property in Mississippi

The Mississippi State Treasurer 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 Treasurer with proof of death and authority to act for the estate.

Filing a claim
Any person claiming an interest in property delivered to the state may file a claim on the form prescribed by the Treasurer (Miss. Code § 89-12-39).
No deadline to claim
Mississippi holds unclaimed property until it is claimed; there is generally no deadline for an owner or heir to file.
Deceased-owner documentation
Submit: (1) copy of the owner's death certificate; (2) copy of the filed will — or, if none, a copy of the obituary or funeral program listing all heirs — or, if neither exists, each claiming heir must complete a notarized Affidavit of Death (form available at treasury.ms.gov). Photo ID and SSN document required for each claimant.
Open vs. closed estate routing
If the estate is open, the Treasurer pays the estate in care of the executor. If the estate is closed, the funds are split among all legal heirs; each heir must file a separate notarized claim form.
