Unique, complex, and overseen by state regulators.

That’s what dormant accounts and unclaimed property are. Every financial institution should have a rock-solid procedure for dealing with these accounts and escheatment to the state. This webinar’s scenarios will awaken you to the attendant challenges and compliance issues.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

Distinguish when an account is deemed “dormant” for dormancy fee purposes versus escheatment purposes
Create procedures to keep accounts from becoming abandoned property that must be escheated to the state
Identify which unclaimed and abandoned property must be escheated to the state
Understand your institution’s responsibilities under the uniform unclaimed property laws
Determine in which states your institution is obligated to escheat property

WEBINAR DETAILS

The financial industry’s procedures and practices regarding dormant accounts and unclaimed property have come under attack by state agencies which claim they are entitled to the escheatment of these accounts and property. Dormant accounts and unclaimed property are subject to complicated laws which can cause administrative problems for your institution.

This webinar will explain the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and the tools needed for financial institutions to evaluate their related procedures and practices. There will be a quick review of the basic rules before focusing 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.
