Parish Financial Services

Prepare for ‘unclaimed property’

Now is the time to think about ‘unclaimed property,’ like uncashed checks. If you have lost track of the payee, you can look them up on the internet, or ask the Development team to check the database. If you can’t find the person to remit, remember to list the unclaimed property in the annual report.
