Unclaimed Property
Morris Nichols’ Unclaimed Property Counseling Group has advised numerous holders, including Fortune 500 companies, on the various issues arising from compliance with state unclaimed property laws, with a particular focus on defending audits conducted by Delaware and its contract auditors as well as completing voluntary compliance agreements on a multistate basis. Attorneys from the Group have played an integral role in drafting recent amendments to Delaware's unclaimed property statutes and helped draft the Delaware Division of Revenue regulations regarding unclaimed property and audit procedures and voluntary disclosure procedures for holders. The Group offers expertise for holders seeking to appeal audit findings under Delaware's new administrative review process, which was established by legislation that Morris Nichols attorneys also helped draft.
