Celebrate Valentine’s weekend with most romantic gesture of all: unclaimed property

Submitted by Office of the Attorney General

Rokita

This Valentine’s Day weekend, love is in the air … and so is much of the state’s unclaimed property. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita invites every Hoosier – from single to married – to sweep their loved ones off of their feet and visit IndianaUnclaimed.gov.

“Roses, chocolates, and jewelry are staple gifts on this holiday of love,” AG Rokita said. “Check out IndianaUnclaimed.gov to see if you have a little extra money to splurge on your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day.”

Here are the types of property that might go unclaimed that are even better than a dozen roses:

• Unclaimed wages or commissions
• Money orders
• Safety deposit box contents
• Savings and checking accounts
• Refunds
• Overpayments such as:
• Credit card balances
• Cell phone bills
• BMV payments

Here’s how to make sure your property doesn’t go unclaimed:

• Keep a record of all bank accounts.
• Record all stock certificates and be sure to cash all dividends received.
• Record all utility deposits, including telephone, cable, and electricity deposits.
• Cash all checks promptly.

Be sure to check IndianaUnclaimed.gov or text CLAIM to 46220 to search your name, family, or business.
