Job description
RIGHTFULLY RETURNING ASSETS
Since the early 1940s, offices that retain unrecovered assets throughout the country have been holding and returning assets. However, these offices and agencies simply do not have the resources to properly locate rightful owners to return the nearly $40 billion in assets being held. As baby boomers and their financial accounts increase, the number of claims will continue to grow and further delay the return of additional funds to owners that could rightfully use the funds which in turn could be infused into the economy as these assets are returned.
