Prudential Demutualization occurred around 2002. You should check your state's unclaimed property website.

If you have outstanding Prudential demutualization shares, this also means that there is or was a current life insurance policy in the name of whoever has the demutualization.

If you find unclaimed property that mentions "prudential demutualization" for a deceased relative - this could mean that there is an unclaimed lost life insurance policy on them as well!

We just found out that a policy started in 1952 for my late aunt is still in force and my grandmother will be receiving proceeds on a 58 year old policy!

From the IRS Tax Topic 430:

If you elected to receive cash instead of stock in the tax-free reorganization, you are deemed to have received shares and then to have sold them back to the corporation (i.e., redeemed your shares). Generally this results in capital gain or loss reportable on Form 1040, Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses. If you owned the policy for more than one year as of the date of the demutualization, the gain or loss is treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If you owned the policy for a year or less, the gain or loss is short-term capital gain or loss.

So basically, you'll report the payment on Schedule D either as long- or short-term depending on how long you'd owned the original policy.

Demutualization was awarded to Prudential policy owners who had polices back in 1999 as and added bonus. This took place because Prudential went from a mutual company to a stock company and gave their policy holders some stock so they could still have a say in the company. Most policy holders know nothing about this added bonus.

If you find this "PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL DEMUTE KBA" unclaimed property for a deceased relative, also be aware that there is likely a life insurance policy open on them as the demutualized shares are in the name of the policy older.

We just discovered a 58 year old life insurance policy on my late Aunt that nobody remembered. Her parents had opened it when she was born and the address Prudential had on file was 30 years old and now we are going to receive the demutualization proceeds as well as the proceeds from a life insurance policy!

Call Prudential at 1-800-778-2255 and ask if there is a policy open on the person if you find unclaimed property/demutualization funds for a deceased relative, or even yourself if you did not think you had a life insurance policy.

If you need to find your deceased's social security number to have Prudential look up an account, you can find it under the social security death index. google SSDI
