Locating, identifying and recovering lost asset funds can create a drain on company resources. Dealing with government agencies can be a challenging process on its own. Multiply this by the number of state and federal agencies only exacerbates the challenge. You might have to visit several and possibly all individual state web sites to perform manual searches. If you locate unclaimed property in multiple states, each state will have different requirements for filing and claiming unclaimed property. Also, when performing a search for a corporate name you must take in to account the correct spelling for the corporation plus different variations of the name. For example when searching for J.C. Penney you will also need to look for: JC Pennys, JCPenney, JC, Penneys. In many cases searching for variations of a name will require you to perform a separate search for each name.
