<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 935431, member: 6986&quot;]US Savings Bonds can only be redeemed by the registered owner or an heir.&nbsp; If an owner dies and no heirs can be found, the government gets free money.&nbsp; The same thing happens with savings bonds found in unpaid storage units and safety deposit boxes.&nbsp; They remain on the government&#039;s books as a liability but they cannot be redeemed until the owner or an heir is found -- and no one is looking for the owners.</p><p><br /></p><p>IN this case, the registered owner was an organization.&nbsp; As far as I can tell, that organization is still around.&nbsp; While it is doubtful that any of its members read this board (they are likely in their 80s), I don&#039;t want to take the chance.&nbsp; It is possible that this bond was reported lost and one re-issued in its place so that this one is unredeemable.&nbsp; Whatever the case, I don&#039;t want to take that chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
