Where do I search Vermont's unclaimed property?

How we know it's official: The Vermont Treasurer's unclaimed property page links its search here. source ↗

What the official site says

• The search site says there is no charge for this service. source ↗

Safe-deposit boxes

Does Vermont auction unclaimed safe-deposit-box contents?

We couldn't verify it. The Treasurer's page lists forgotten safe-deposit-box contents among the property it holds for owners, but doesn't describe any sale.

Not yet verified: We found no Vermont sale and no page describing one.

After a sale

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

The Vermont pages we read don't say what happens to the money after a sale. Ask Vermont Office of the State Treasurer directly; its contact details are on the official site ↗.

How to check

How do I check Vermont for free?

1. Open Vermont's official search: vermont.unclaimedproperty.com ↗. 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 ↗
