Alberta Government looking for owners of $154 million in unclaimed money and property
You could receive an unexpected payout from the Government of Alberta.
The province is seeking the rightful owners of a combined $154 million in unclaimed money and property.
They say the unclaimed property registry holds money that is lost, abandoned or forgotten. It contains millions of dollars worth of cash, cheques, money orders and other unclaimed items that belong to Albertans, often related to unclaimed deposits, uncashed cheques, loan overpayments, or inactive investment accounts.
In 2023 alone, the registry returned $1.4 million to 650 people.
