In short

How do I find property that has passed its state dormancy period automatically?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Simple Escheat and compares each open property to the dormancy period for its owner state and type. It lists everything past the threshold, writes a ready-to-escheat workbook in Excel, and posts a Slack summary by filing state, so property crosses into escheat on schedule instead of late.

  • Property is flagged the week it crosses a dormancy threshold, not at year-end
  • Each state's own dormancy period is applied instead of one blanket rule
  • Records with fresh owner activity stay off the list automatically

Questions, answered

Does it start due diligence or file anything by itself?

No. WebRun only identifies property past its dormancy period and writes it to an Excel workbook with a Slack summary. Starting due diligence or preparing a report stays a human decision, so nothing is mailed or submitted on its own.

How does it know each state's dormancy period?

It reads the owner state and property type on each Simple Escheat record and applies that jurisdiction's dormancy period, so a three-year state and a five-year state are each measured against their own rule.

What if a property has recent owner activity?

It reads the last activity date in Simple Escheat each run, so any property with fresh owner contact is not counted as dormant and stays off the ready-to-escheat list.
