Generally, if the property in question has not had any activity within a certain period of time, e.g., three years for most properties, and the holder is unable to locate the property owner, it is considered abandoned and must be reported to the Unclaimed Property Division of the State Treasurer's Office.

Is there a deadline for making a claim? No. You can make a claim anytime since Unclaimed Property is kept in a custodial capacity until the rightful owner or heir has successfully claimed the property.

Submit your claim form and any additional documentation by email, upload, or mail to: Email: unclaimedproperty@illinoistreasurer. Upload: . Mail: Office of the Illinois State Treasurer. Unclaimed Property Division. P.O. Box 19495. Springfield, IL 62794-9495.

Once you have submitted your claim, the unclaimed property department for the state will verify your ownership and process the claim. Some states complete this process in less than 30 days.
