FAQ - Unclaimed Property

What happens to the property if it remains unclaimed?

Maryland’s unclaimed property law is custodial, meaning that there is no time limit on claiming the money that is rightfully yours. You can claim the funds any time, and legitimate heirs can claim the funds after the original owner’s death.
