HRS §414-421

What happens to assets when an owner can't be found

When a dissolved company has money or property that should go to a creditor, claimant, or shareholder who can't be found or can't accept it, the company must turn that property into cash and give it to the state's director of finance. The director will then handle it according to state rules for unclaimed property.
