Know your obligations regarding MS unclaimed property As a business owner, you're typically required to report and remit unclaimed property in Mississippi. If someone forgets to pick up a deposit or a check, make sure you know what your legal obligations are regarding escheatment in Mississippi.

I recommend:  Go to the Mississippi State Treasurer's website for Information for Holders Reporting Unclaimed Property to the State of Mississippi. For an outside source on MS escheat reporting requirements, try the Business Owner's Toolkit.

Search Mississippi unclaimed property to ensure that your business hasn't left assets behind Why not perform a Mississippi unclaimed property search to make sure your business doesn't have some assets floating around out there somewhere? This makes even more sense if your business has been around for a long time or it has a long string of former owners. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that one of the former owners neglected to retrieve some MS unclaimed property or even some unclaimed land in Mississippi that still belongs to your business.

I recommend:  Go to the Mississippi State Treasurer's website to search for Unclaimed Property. Search also for any unclaimed or abandoned property you might have in Mississippi, surrounding states or nationwide at MissingMoney.com. Also, check out CashUnclaimed.com.
