(KNZA)--Kansas Treasurer Jake LaTurner will be stopping in Brown County as part of his tour of state’s 105 counties to promote many of the programs and services administered by his office.

LaTurner and his staff will be in Hiawatha Tuesday, August 8th  at the Brown County Courthouse from 1:30-3:00 in the afternoon.

During his stop, LaTurner says he will be promoting four important missions at the Treasurer’s Office: returning unclaimed property to its rightful owners, helping Kansans save for higher education, empowering individuals living with a disability and their loved ones to save for disability related expenses, and increasing the financial knowledge of all Kansans.

The State Treasurer's Office is currently safeguarding $350 million in unclaimed property and is charged with returning it to its rightful owners and heirs. There’s over $531,000 of unclaimed property in Brown County.

Unclaimed property includes inactive savings and checking accounts, uncashed checks, stock shares and bonds, dividend checks, insurance proceeds, mineral royalties and utility deposits.

Area residents who can't make it to the event Tuesday may call the State Treasurer's Office at 1-800-432-0386 or log onto KansasCash.com to search for unclaimed property. There is no cost to search and claim your rightful property.
