Frequently asked questions

Search tap.revenue.wi.gov/UCPSearch, then file a claim under "Heir or Personal Representative." You will submit a death certificate, your own ID and address, and either court domiciliary letters or an Affidavit of Heirship.

The Wisconsin Department of Revenue asks claimants to allow up to 12 weeks for review of a filed claim. Time can be longer if additional documentation is requested.

Wisconsin holds unclaimed property until it is claimed, so there is generally no deadline for an owner or their heirs to file a claim under Wis. Stat. ch. 177.
