5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction and survey of unclaimed money issues, September 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of Finding Unclaimed Money (Paperback)

The text takes you into the subject of unclaimed money in a very simple way. It shows you the origins of unclaimed money and some of the mechanics of how it is handled. You are given a general guide of how to go about tracking through this evident mess of uncorrelated data. He also tells you that some of the government agencies appear to rely on few citizens actually finding money, and most of the unclaimed money has actually been spent by states. There is also a overview of the business of returning money to owners,and earning a profit while doing it. The level is all introductory. Advanced techniques and logic are mentioned, but not extensively gone into. It is an easy, comfortable and easy to read and remember format.

I am a paralegal and this book gives a good, basic understanding of various state laws as well as requirements for finders. You can glean ideas from this book to start your own business, if you so desire.

This review is from: Secrets of Finding Unclaimed Money (Paperback)

This book may have been a useful reference work in 1996, but it has been eclipsed by free resources available via internet search engines. Almost half of the book is comprised of listings of state unclaimed property offices (at one state per page). The same info is available at [...] along with instant free property searches for most states. Don't bother.
