Have you entered or do you plan to enter into a contract with a professional “finder” of unclaimed money?*

Yes

If you checked “yes” be advised that finders must adhere to the following provisions of the Mississippi Unclaimed Property statute: (1) The finder MAY NOT charge any claimant fees totaling more than 10 percent of the paid claim (2) The finder MAY NOT collect any fees associated with properties which have been held by the state less than 7 months. If using a finder service, you should include a copy of the contract along with this claim form for review. Be advised that the Office of State Treasurer (OST) Unclaimed Property Division neither sanctions professional unclaimed money finders, nor is OST a party to any contract between the claimant and finder. All fees associated with professional finding services are a transaction between the contracted finder and his/her client (the claimant). The OST WILL NOT deduct fees from any paid claim on behalf of either the claimant or the finder. All fee transactions are conducted solely between the finder and the claimant/client.

Reminder: if you are claiming a property belonging to a deceased person, claim as “heir.” Otherwise your claim could be considered invalid.
