Overview

How unclaimed property works in Florida

Florida holds unclaimed property when companies, banks, insurers, courts, or other holders cannot locate the rightful owner after the required dormancy period.

The Florida Department of Financial Services maintains the official Claim Your Cash Florida at claimyourcashfl.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.

KeenVPN does not hold or process Florida claims. Use the official government search linked on this page, then follow FL claim instructions and documentation requirements from the agency.
