How Long is a Cashier's Check Good?

Question:

How long is a cashier's check good from the date of issue?

Answer:

In general, a cashier's check is good forever, but the issuing bank is subject to the abandoned property laws of various states. If time passes and the funds covered by a check become subject to an abandoned property law, the cashier's check claim would have to be made with the applicable state's abandoned property office, usually part of the state's treasurer's office.
