Recovering Unclaimed Property
We help you find and recover unclaimed funds at Oregon’s Treasury Department.
John A. Short
I’ve lived in Oregon for most of my life, working as a business owner specializing in water rights for the last 20+ years. Now, I advise and represent people with unclaimed funds in Oregon’s state treasury, helping them recover money they often didn’t even know was abandoned.
Stories
Every account has a story
An older lady gently accepted my information showing she had over $75,000 from a bank account in Oregon’s Unclaimed Property. She explained her husband had recently passed and she had not been able to find all accounts. Definitely a somber lesson there.
A single Mom I contacted did not know that the father of her son had life insurance when he died. Over $174,000 is headed her way from years ago.
A family I met with still owned a business with over $125,000 held in Oregon’s Unclaimed Property which did not forward to them after their 2017 move.
A gentleman I stopped in and chatted with recently found that his Unclaimed Property account holds over $500,000 from stocks or bonds. Oregon’s Treasury Department has held this for roughly 25 years now. His name hasn’t changed and he still lives at the same address listed on his account!
From a neighbor in his words, “I was burglarized in college in Eugene (1988) and there was restitution due.” His restitution is now on the way back!
I was able to notify one medical office that they had 48 different accounts at Oregon’s Unclaimed Property since their move several years before. The first I noticed was over $21,000.

A gentleman I met with hadn’t found all his parent’s savings and checking accounts after their passing. He exclaimed:
