You may be in for some money and not even know it.
Each year, millions of dollars goes unclaimed in Indiana, including checks, stocks certificates, insurance benefits—anything that has been left unattended for five years.
In 2007, 83 million dollars was turned over to the state.
"What’s amazing is the high dollar value of some of the claims. We have had claims of several hundred thousand dollars," says Steve Carter, Indiana Attorney General. "After 25-years, people do lose the right to claim the property, so that's why I encourage people to step up and do it."
New this year, the state is auctioning off items left in safety deposit boxes. The money collected is then held in an account for the owner of the box.
If you think you have unclaimed property, you can check out the state website.
