Families face new rules for unclaimed belongings
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming coroners must contact the deceased person's next of kin within a reasonable time after finishing their investigation. The rules cover money and property found on the body. Coroners may release personal items worth under $50 and items needed for the next of kin's convenience. If there is no estate representative and relatives leave the property unclaimed for 180 days, the coroner must sell it. Sales must use a public auction to the highest bidder or another method adopted by the county. The money found and sale proceeds first pay burial expenses. Any remaining amount over $50 goes to the state treasurer under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act.
