  • Dormant accounts

    The legal definition as to what is to be deemed a dormant, unclaimed or inactive bank account varies according to each jurisdiction, even with countries lacking specific regulation on the issue. The main feature of these assets is that they lingered for a long time without action or notice from its owner and the Bank has lost contact with that owner or his or her heirs.

Unclaimed life insurance policies are an issue worldwide. For instance, in Spain it was identified that in 2006 about ten percent of the roughly 27 millions of life insurance policies were not cashed by its beneficiaries, due to unawareness of their existence. This led to the enacting of the Law 20/2005 dated November, 14th, 2005, which established the Registrar of Life Insurance Policies and the grounds of which state: “life insurance is often contracted in the frame of contracting services of any kind, such as car insurance, mortgages, injury insurance, travel insurance and credit cards. However, it frequently happens that, in the event of the insured passing away, his or her beneficiaries, not being aware of the life insurance police, do not claim it, therefore losing their rights that they should have been able to enjoy”.

The diversity in legal frameworks on the subject is quite important, with countries where the life insurance policies can be claimed by the beneficiary or his o her heirs at anytime (i.e., the United States), and others that have enacted statutes of limitations, that is, the insurance may not be claimed after a set period of time.
