How Delaware's unclaimed property program works

Banks, employers, insurers, and other businesses in Delaware must hand over property they can't return to the owner after a dormancy period — typically one to five years. Delaware then safeguards it indefinitely and publishes the owner's name, which is what you search here. Learn more about how unclaimed property works and the types you might find.
