Vacant & Abandoned Property

What are the rules for abandonment?
Every state has its own definition of abandonment or desertion, but generally, it means that one spouse leaves the family home and the relationship without communicating and without warning. You'll need to check local laws to determine the exact term and definition that applies to divorce in your state.
How long before unclaimed property is yours?
For most states, the dormancy period is five years. When property is officially designated by the state as abandoned or unclaimed, it undergoes a process known as escheatment, where the state assumes ownership of that property until the rightful owner files a claim.
