Kansas unclaimed money and property: is it yours?

Where to search Kansas's official unclaimed property list for free, what happens to forgotten safe-deposit boxes there, and whether the money is still yours after a sale.

Safe-deposit boxes

Does Kansas auction unclaimed safe-deposit-box contents?

Yes, on a rolling basis: the official site links ongoing online listings. The Treasurer sells safe-deposit-box property. Its unclaimed property site says it uses eBay to auction box contents, with an ever-changing mix of items from coins to jewelry, and that the proceeds stay claimable by the owner or heir. Its holder FAQ says banks are repaid unpaid box rent and drilling charges from what remains after the state's costs of sale (citing K.S.A. 58-3953).

Not yet verified: We haven't found a dated Kansas sale. We read the eBay link on the Treasurer's site but didn't review the listings.

After a sale

If the box was already sold, can I still claim the money?

The Treasurer's site says auction proceeds are available to be claimed by the rightful owner or heir. source ↗

How to check

How do I check Kansas for free?

  1. Open Kansas's official search: missingmoney.ks.gov ↗. Check that the address is this one before you type anything in.
  2. Search your name, any past or maiden names, and any business you ran. If a relative has died, search their name too: heirs can often claim. Ask the state office what proof it needs.
  3. If you've lived or worked in other states, search those too. MissingMoney.com ↗, NAUPA's free site, searches most states at once and links back to each state's official claim page.
  4. File the claim on the official site and send the proof it asks for, such as ID. Each state sets its own rules.

Finders

Do I need to pay someone to claim it?

No. NAUPA, the national association of state unclaimed property administrators, says there's no fee to search for and claim your property if you use your state's official program. Paid finders are legal in most cases but never required. Some states cap their fees and many require them to register, so check with the state office before you sign a finder's contract. NAUPA ↗
