Overview

How unclaimed property works in Mississippi

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

The Mississippi State Treasury maintains the official Mississippi unclaimed property program at treasury.ms.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.

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