Indiana Unclaimed Property

Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in IN [2026]

Indiana Unclaimed Property Overview

Indiana holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Hoosier State's diverse economy generates substantial unclaimed property from manufacturing payroll, insurance proceeds, and agricultural commodity payments. The Indiana Attorney General is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.

Indiana uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 3 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by November 1 each year.
