Search Cass County Unclaimed Money

Unclaimed money in Cass County is held by the Indiana Attorney General until the rightful owner comes forward to claim it. The state collects funds from dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten insurance payouts, stock dividends, and a wide range of other financial assets. Anyone who has lived or worked in Cass County should run a search. It takes only a few minutes and costs nothing at all. Many Logansport-area residents are surprised to find money they did not know existed.

Indiana Unclaimed Money in Cass County

The Indiana Attorney General runs the state's unclaimed property program and currently holds more than $914 million across roughly 5.1 million accounts. About one in every seven Hoosiers has unclaimed property waiting in the system. That statistic applies to Cass County residents just as it does anywhere else in the state. If you have ever had a bank account, insurance policy, or paycheck in Indiana, there is a real chance something is sitting unclaimed with your name on it.

Under IC 32-34-1-19, most financial accounts get turned over to the state after three to five years of no owner contact. Once the state takes custody under IC 32-34-1-30, your right to claim that property never expires. You can file a claim this year or twenty years from now. The state holds the funds indefinitely. There is no deadline to file and no fee to search or claim.

The official search tool is indianaunclaimed.gov, maintained by the Attorney General's office. It covers all 92 Indiana counties, including Cass County. The state returns more than $1 million to rightful owners every single week.

Note: Searching under past names, maiden names, and the names of deceased relatives often turns up additional results that a single name search would miss.

Cass County Treasurer's Office

The Cass County Treasurer is Daphne Slusher, and the office is located in Logansport at the County Park complex. The treasurer handles property taxes, tax collections, and some local government financial matters. It is not the office that holds unclaimed money from banks, insurance companies, or private businesses. Those assets go directly to the Indiana Attorney General's unclaimed property program. That said, the treasurer's office can help if you believe the county itself owes you a refund, such as an uncashed jury fee check or an overpayment on a county transaction.

For county-level refunds, contact the treasurer's office directly. For the broader set of unclaimed financial assets held by the state, use indianaunclaimed.gov. The two systems are separate, and most unclaimed money belongs to the state system rather than the county office. Staff at the Logansport office can point you in the right direction if you are not sure which applies to your situation.

What Counts as Unclaimed Money

Indiana's unclaimed property law covers a wide variety of financial assets. Under IC 32-34-1-1, unclaimed property includes any financial asset where the owner has not made contact with the holder for a defined period. For Cass County residents, that could mean an old savings account at a Logansport bank, a checking account at a credit union, or a certificate of deposit that was never renewed.

The list goes well beyond bank accounts. Wages and commissions that were never picked up count as unclaimed property. So do stock dividends, mutual fund shares, insurance policy payouts, credit balances on retail accounts, utility deposits, and money orders. Safe deposit box contents can also end up in the state system if the box fees go unpaid and the owner cannot be located. About 75 percent of all accounts in the state system hold under $100, but larger amounts appear regularly. The highest single claim ever paid in Indiana reached $750,000. Even small amounts add up, and the search is always free.

Note: Businesses that hold dormant financial assets must report them to the state annually under IC 32-34-1-26.

Claiming Your Cass County Property

Filing a claim is free. Do not pay any third party to search or file on your behalf. The state does not charge a fee and does not take a percentage of what you recover. The full amount comes back to you.

Here is how the process works for Cass County residents:

• Go to indianaunclaimed.gov and search your name
• Select the record that matches your name and information
• Start the online claim and enter your current contact details
• Upload or mail any documents the state requests
• Wait for the Attorney General's office to review and approve your claim
• Receive payment by check or direct deposit

The documents you need depend on the property type and amount. Small claims often need only a photo ID. Larger claims may require a utility bill, an old bank statement, or other proof of ownership. Claims for a deceased person's property require a death certificate and proof of your legal relationship to them, such as a will or letters testamentary. The Attorney General's office reviews each claim individually before issuing payment. Processing times can vary, but the office communicates by email or mail if more information is needed.
