But to cover budget shortfalls, some states quietly empty this lost and found into their general funds, trampling private property rights in the process, says William Palmer, a California attorney who has represented many victims of improper escheatment.
“Things are just getting escheated, getting liquidated, and these statutes that are supposed to be for preserving assets for owners that have forgotten about them have turned into revenue generators for the state,” says Jennifer Borden, an attorney with Holland & Knight based in Boston. “The fact that the owners don’t get their money back — which is supposed to be the goal of the statute — now seems to be of little consequence to the state.”
