Meet Your New Escheators (Or, In Some Cases, Welcome Back)


Most state unclaimed property divisions are part of the Department of the State Treasurer or Department of Revenue (the latter, some would argue, is quite telling).  In any event, that means that the head of the state’s unclaimed property program in many states is an elected official.  There most recent election cycle featured a number of State Treasurer, State Auditor, or Attorney General races, and starting in 2015 we will have some new (or re-elected) officials dealing with unclaimed property issues.  Meet your escheators (elected State Treasurer unless otherwise noted):
