Unclaimed property dormancy is a period of time during which there is no activity from the unclaimed property owner. The unclaimed property dormancy varies by property type, but is pretty uniform across the states for that type of property.

In each case, these abandoned properties are considered unclaimed and therefore escheatable after a designated period, called a dormancy period. The timing can differ for different types of property. For example, an employee's paycheck might be considered dormant just one year after the date payable.

The New Mexico Uniform Unclaimed Property Act requires a holder of property that is presumed abandoned to send written notice to the owner at the last known address in 60 days or less, but not more than 120 days before filing the report.

In New Mexico abandonment means the absence of the tenant from the premises, without notice to the landlord, for more than seven continuous days, and only after rent is delinquent. When abandonment is confirmed the rental agreement may be terminated, and the process of handling any personal property left behind begins.

To successfully file an unclaimed property claim with us you must prove that you are the rightful owner of the property. The required proof varies ing to the property and the circumstances under which it was abandoned. The Unclaimed Property Office does not release property until it receives the required proof.
