Laws surrounding abandoned property require the lost owner’s assets to be turned over to the custody of the state — a process known as escheatment — until it can be returned to the holder.  Laws surrounding abandoned property require the lost owner’s assets to be turned over to the custody of the state, which is a process known as escheatment.
