Banks Cannot Deduct From "Dead" Deposits
Wisconsin won the first lawsuit over the 1935 act that requires banks to turn over dormant deposits to the state school fund. Circuit Judge Alvin C. Reis ruled against Bank of New Glarus, saying banks cannot deduct attorney fees and advertising costs from escheated deposits. The attorney general’s office must publish notices of inactive accounts, and only accounts at least 20 years old and otherwise unclaimed go to the state.
