As more North Carolina unclaimed money is continues to be handed over to the state, than is reunited with the rightful owners, the state's missing money pile has grown to a record $700 million!

Out of date records aren't always the fault of the state. If the asset just hasn't been abandoned long enough to be technically considered unclaimed, then it won't have been handed over to the state. Strict laws decide how found property is dealt with in each state, so you won't deal with issues like a bank turning over a bank account after only 6 months, just because you had not used it. So again, not finding a record does not mean you aren't owed money, and you should check again regularly.
As stated above, there are varying "dormancy periods" for each type of property, but they commonly range from 1 to 5 years. This means that after periods of inactivity surpass these dormancy periods, the companies who hold these properties are required to turn them over to the treasury dept. if they are unable to locate the rightful owner on their own. At that point, the state will act as a custodian, essentially a "holder" until you claim your money.
There are quite a few problems, in addition to those search issues described above that often befall new searchers, which is why it is all the more important that residents of NC allow an unclaimed funds expert to provide them with a thorough guide for navigating the lost funds maze.
