Holders must send notice to owners
All holders of property subject to the abandoned property law are required to send a written notice by first-class mail to the apparent owner at the owner's last known address. In the notice, the property holder must inform the owner that the holder is in possession of property subject to the abandoned property law and that the property will be considered abandoned unless the owner responds within 30 days of the notification.
The holder must send the notice not more than 120 days or less than 30 days before filing the required report with the Comptroller's Office. |
