120A.580  Notice and publication of lists of abandoned property.

      1.  The Administrator shall publish a notice not later than November 30 of the year next following the year in which abandoned property has been paid or delivered to the Administrator. The notice must be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county of this State in which is located the last known address of any person named in the notice. If a holder does not report an address for the apparent owner or the address is outside this State, the notice must be published in a county that the Administrator reasonably selects. The advertisement must be in a form that, in the judgment of the Administrator, is likely to attract the attention of the apparent owner of the unclaimed property. The form must contain:

      (a) The name of each person appearing to be the owner of the property, as set forth in the report filed by the holder;

      (b) The city or town in which the last known address of each person appearing to be the owner of the property is located, if a city or town is set forth in the report filed by the holder;

      (c) A statement explaining that property of the owner is presumed to be abandoned and has been taken into the protective custody of the Administrator; and

      (d) A statement that information about the property and its return to the owner is available to a person having a legal or beneficial interest in the property, upon request to the Administrator.

      2.  The Administrator is not required to advertise the name and city or town of an owner of property having a total value less than $50 or information concerning a traveler’s check, money order or similar instrument.
