“Wouldn’t that be a nice surprise, it’s like finding a $50 bill in an old suit pocket that you forgot about, or even better yet some stocks that were left for you from your parents who may have passed away”, says Palonek who is the founder of www.foundmoney.com, which was the first company to make a search mechanism available on a Web Site for everyone to search for unclaimed property. Found Money was started in 1994 and specializes in unclaimed assets and has reunited thousands of people throughout the years with their lost and forgotten money.

According to Edward Palonek of foundmoney “the unclaimed property includes things such as “forgotten bank accounts, uncashed pay checks, unclaimed security deposits, and unused gift certificates. It's most often in the form of money, but it can also be stocks, mutual funds, and the contents of safe deposit boxes”.

Mr. Palonek goes on to say that “the property comes from many sources, which are generally called holders, that include, banks, credit unions, corporations, utilities, insurance agencies, retailers, and governmental agencies throughout the United States”.

In Vermont the State Treasurer's Office acts as custodian to safeguard the assets until they can be claimed by the rightful owners or their heirs.

“During these very difficult economic times, taking action now could put much needed unclaimed money in the pockets of thousands of residents in Vermont” says Palonek.
