WEBINAR DETAILS
The procedures and practices of financial
institutions related to dormant accounts and unclaimed property face increasing
scrutiny from state agencies that assert entitlement to the escheatment of
these accounts and assets. Dormant accounts and unclaimed property are governed
by complex regulations that create
significant administrative and compliance challenges for your institution. Since escheat laws vary from state to state,
this webinar will not address individual state requirements. Instead, we will
focus on the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and the essential tools available
for financial institutions to evaluate and strengthen their procedures and
practices.
