WEBINAR DETAILS
Dormant accounts and
unclaimed property pose unique, and often complicated, problems for financial
institutions. Procedures and practices regarding dormant accounts and
unclaimed/abandoned property have come under attack by state agencies which claim they are entitled
to escheatment.
This webinar will explain the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act
and the tools needed to evaluate its procedures and practices regarding dormant
accounts and unclaimed property. It will quickly review the basic laws and then
focus on more advanced issues. Since
escheat laws vary, this webinar will not cover state-specific escheat laws.
However, you will be able to find your state-specific escheat laws by using the
contact information provided.
