(Part 2 of 2)

If citizens living in the Buckeye State hope to take back their piece of the billion dollar unclaimed property pie, the primary rule is to search regularly. If a person searches on Monday and finds nothing, there's a good chance they will end their search right there. But what if a record for missing money in their name isn't added to the system until Tuesday? Or maybe the following month? Or year? Each of the various types of unclaimed property has its own unique amount of time which must go by before it can be considered "unclaimed" and handed over to the state. Most of these dormancy periods are between one and five years, but many are longer, so it is clear that tracking down lost assets isn't a one shot deal.

More details on the tips mentioned, and many others others can be had if a citizen uses the help of an unclaimed property expert in their search for Ohio unclaimed money, which is highly recommended to make sure that all avenues and possible sources of money have been explored.
