Pursuant to a new requirement in New York State relating to abandoned property, if a financial institution receives "notice or an indication of death" of a depositor, the institution must attempt to confirm whether the depositor is deceased within 90 days of such notice or indication of death. Upon confirmation of the death, the applicable dormancy period for the depositor's funds commences retroactive to the date of death.

Al despuntar el alba, bajo el calor seco y sofocante del verano de Arizona, mi masáni, mi madre, mis tías y muchos primos reúnen el rebaño de ovejas de nuestra abuela. Incluso al amanecer, los suelos resecos liberan el calor almacenado en nuestros zapatos con suela de goma. Condujimos a los animales desde sus corrales en el cañón hasta nuestro campamento de verano en la montaña Lukachukai.
