The state of NJ has the greatest population density of all the 50 states – an average of 1,030 people per square mile with 9 out of 10 of the people residing in an urban area. This could explain the fact that property taxes in the Garden State are the highest in the nation – double the national average. Based on a recent report by WCBS Newsradio however, 200 thousand homeowners in NJ do not seem to be bothered by that seeing as they failed to apply for $200 million worth of tax rebates.

Tax rebates are just one of the many potential sources of New Jersey unclaimed money and funds. Abandoned uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance and retirement benefits, cash and mineral deposits, stocks, bank accounts and even safe deposit box contents are all dealt with under NJ's Unclaimed Money Law. All kinds of items have been found in the latter – autographs of historical figures like General George S. Patton and Mae West, an $80,000 Tiffany bracelet, a prosthetic leg and oddly old animal bones have been collected from deposit box contents left behind by residents of NJ.

Some 42 thousand residents of the Garden State recently claimed $88.4 million in just one year, but there are still hundreds of millions of dollars to be discovered, belonging to over 1.2 million people. Each of the 1.2 million people are owed at least 50 dollars, but many are owed a lot more. Atlantic City, N.J. may be home to the annual Miss America pageant, but state residents should also look into something just as beautiful (if not more) – New Jersey unclaimed money.

Liberty And Prosperity is New Jersey's motto and everyone is indeed encouraged to go check and do a search for unclaimed money and make themselves a bit more prosperous by taking back their lost assets. It can be as simple as going on-line and doing an unclaimed funds search using one's name . The tricky part though is doing a thorough search, as it's possible to miss pre-escheat funds and unclaimed property in other states.

The state of New Jersey has the highest population density of all the 50 states – averaging a whopping 1,030 people per square mile with 90% of the people residing in an urban area. This could explain the fact that property taxes in the Garden State are the highest in the country – twice the national average. Based on a recent story by WCBS Newsradio however, 200 thousand homeowners in New Jersey don't seem to be bothered by that considering that they failed to apply for 200 million dollars in tax rebates.

Tax rebates are just one of the many examples of sources of New Jersey unclaimed money and property. Abandoned bank accounts, stocks, cash and mineral deposits, unclaimed insurance and retirement benefits, uncashed checks and even safety deposit box contents are all dealt with under New Jersey's Unclaimed Money Law. All kinds of things have been discovered in the latter – autographs of historical figures like General George S. Patton and Mae West, an $80,000 Tiffany bracelet, a prosthetic leg and oddly old animal bones have been collected from deposit box contents forgotten by residents of New Jersey.

People tend to lose track of their finances when they change jobs or addresses, get married, or pass-away. Mailed checks or notices can get sent back to their senders when forwarding addresses are not left behind by the planned recipients. Under escheat laws, these abandoned financial assets are turned over to the state after a certain number of years which varies from account type to account type, and state to state. The site of the New Jersey Division of Taxation states the following about unclaimed money and property: "Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all property, including any income or increment derived therefrom, less any lawful charges, whether located in this State or another state, that is held, issued, owing in the ordinary course of a holder's business and has remained unclaimed by the owner for more than three years after it became payable or distributable is presumed abandoned. At the time that an interest is presumed abandoned under this section, any other property right accrued or accruing to the owner as a result of the interest, and not previously presumed abandoned, is also presumed abandoned."
