Steps to take

  1. Search mycash.utah.gov for the deceased's name and prior addresses, and run a multi-state search at missingmoney.com.
  2. File a claim as the estate representative or heir with:
    • A completed Affidavit for Collection of Unclaimed Property, the Division's own form, answering every question
    • A clear copy of your photo identification, or a notarized claim form
    • Verification the deceased owner lived or received mail at the address reported by the holder, and proof of the deceased owner's Social Security number — normally from the death certificate; the Division states this proof is optional, but that without it a claim may be denied for insufficient information
    • Documentation of your right to claim — an obituary, or court documents naming you as the estate's representative if a personal representative has been appointed
  3. Submit through the MyCash portal or by mail as instructed in the claim packet, and respond to any document requests from the Unclaimed Property Division. Where a notarized signature is requested, mail the original signed form as well.
  4. The administrator has 90 days to allow or deny the claim after it is filed; if no decision is issued, the claim is considered denied, and the claimant may file an amended claim or bring an action in district court within one year of filing.

Frequently asked questions

Search mycash.utah.gov, then file a claim with the Unclaimed Property Division's Affidavit for Collection of Unclaimed Property, a copy of your photo identification (or a notarized claim form), verification of the deceased owner's reported address, and documentation of your right to claim — an obituary, or court documents naming you as the estate's representative. The Division also asks for proof of the deceased owner's Social Security number; it states that this proof is optional, but that without it a claim may be denied for insufficient information. For decedent property valued at $100,000 or less, Utah Code 67-4a-903(3) lets heirs file a single claim for all heirs, supported by an affidavit that satisfies Utah Code 75-3-1201.

No. The Unclaimed Property Division states that property is kept in a custodial capacity until the rightful owner or heir can be found, so a claim may be made at any time.

No. The Unclaimed Property Division answers "no" to whether there is a charge or fee for the program; searching mycash.utah.gov and filing a claim directly with the Utah State Treasurer is free.

Under Utah Code 67-4a-904, the administrator must allow or deny a claim and notify the claimant of the decision within 90 days of filing. If the administrator does not act within that 90-day period, the claim is considered denied; the claimant may then file an amended claim or bring an action against the administrator in district court within one year of filing the claim.
