Unclaimed Property Search 

Search for unclaimed property in New Mexico

For your protection, banks, insurance companies, utilities, investment companies and many other businesses are required by State law to surrender inactive accounts to the State. These accounts are known as “lost,” “abandoned,” or “unclaimed” funds.

 

The Unclaimed Property Unit serves as custodian of this money.  If you can prove you are entitled to the money, we will gladly return it to you, at any time, without charge. Until the money is claimed, it is used by the State’s General Funds, serving the citizens and taxpayers of the State of New Mexico.

Tips for searching

For specific advice, see the search tips on the missingmoney.com website. Generally—

  • You can search for an individual, family member or business. An individual search is
    based upon your last name (current or prior name) and your full or partial first name.
    A family search only requires a last name. The business search requires entering your
    business name.
  • You can search for anyone, but you may only file a claim for property that belongs to 
    you or for which you are the legal heir. If you are a business owner, you may also file 
    on behalf of your business.
  • If you have a common name, you can narrow down your search results by specifying
    the city and/or state where you have lived.
  • You can search for deceased family members, but only the rightful heir can claim the
    property.
