State Unclaimed Property in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue holds unclaimed property — dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance payouts, and similar assets — until the owner or their heirs claim it. Heirs and personal representatives of a deceased owner search the state database and file a claim with proof of death and authority to act for the estate.
