How To Search for Unclaimed Money in Indiana

Step 1: Go to the Official Search Website

Indiana’s unclaimed property program is managed by the Indiana Attorney General’s Office through its Unclaimed Property Division. The official search website is:

www.indianaunclaimed.gov

This is the only official and free way to search for unclaimed property in Indiana. Never pay anyone to search for you.

Step 2: Search Using Your Name

Enter your full legal name on the search page. Try variations including:

  • Your current legal name
  • Your maiden name or any previous married names
  • Common misspellings of your name
  • Names of deceased relatives who lived in Indiana
  • Your business name, if you have owned or operated a business in Indiana

Step 3: Review Your Results

The search results will show any unclaimed property associated with your name. For each match, you will typically see:

  • The name on the account
  • The type of property (bank account, insurance, payroll, etc.)
  • The company that reported the property
  • The approximate value (some states do not show exact amounts)
  • The last known address on file

Step 4: File Your Claim

If you find a match, follow the instructions on the Indiana Attorney General’s Office website to file your claim. Most claims in Indiana can be started online. You will need to verify your identity and provide documentation proving you are the rightful owner.
