H 1335 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to unclaimed property

This bill (HD 833) simplifies the process for individuals to claim small unclaimed property held by a terminated corporation. It directly affects people or beneficiaries seeking property valued at $2,000 or less that was surrendered to the state treasurer. The key provision waives fees required to revive a terminated corporation specifically for collecting this small-value property. The state treasurer certifies the corporation's revival, and the state secretary must then waive the revival fee. This change removes a financial barrier for claimants seeking modest unclaimed assets.
