New Jersey unclaimed property: what to know
Updated
Coming soon. We currently file claims in California only. We are not offering New Jersey claims yet.
New Jersey's unclaimed property program is run by the state; its search is at unclaimedfunds.nj.gov. If you use a finder (a paid recovery service), these rules apply.
Finder rules in New Jersey
- A finder agreement made within 24 months after the property was delivered to the state is void.
- After that, fees are capped at 20%.
How this compares with California
In California an investigator may charge up to 10%, only after the Controller pays, and may sign an agreement as soon as the Controller holds the property. The Controller pays the investigator's share directly.
