Indiana Unclaimed Money in Marshall County

The Indiana Attorney General holds more than $914 million in unclaimed property across approximately 5.1 million accounts. About one in seven Hoosiers has a claim they have not yet filed. Marshall County residents, including those who have lived in Plymouth and surrounding towns, may have accounts sitting in the state system tied to old addresses or former employers in the area. Property held by the state does not expire. You can claim it years or even decades after it was first turned over.

Under IC 32-34-1-19, holders such as banks, employers, and insurance companies must report and transfer unclaimed assets to the state after three to five years of no owner contact. From that point, under IC 32-34-1-30, the state holds the property on your behalf with no expiration on your right to claim it. Over $1 million is paid back to Indiana property owners every week. The statewide average claim is $1,018, though the highest single claim paid in Indiana reached $750,000.

The state's search tool is at indianaunclaimed.gov. It covers all Indiana counties, including Marshall County, and searches across all years. Old Marshall County addresses stay linked to your record even if you have since moved elsewhere.

Marshall County Treasurer's Office

Kelly Einspahr serves as the Marshall County Treasurer. The treasurer's office is responsible for property tax collection, tax sales, and county financial operations. It does not hold unclaimed money from private banks or companies. Those funds go directly to the state. However, if you are owed a refund from a county transaction, such as an overpayment of property taxes or an uncashed county-issued check, the treasurer's office is the right contact. Staff in Plymouth can look up any outstanding payments under your name.

For all privately-held unclaimed assets, including bank accounts, insurance proceeds, wages, and utility deposits, use the state search at indianaunclaimed.gov. The county website at co.marshall.in.us has general contact information for all Marshall County offices if you need to reach other departments.

What Counts as Unclaimed Money

Indiana's unclaimed property law covers a wide range of financial assets. Under IC 32-34-1-1, any financial asset where the holder loses contact with the owner for a defined period qualifies as unclaimed property. For Marshall County residents, this can include old checking or savings accounts at banks that have merged or closed, insurance policy payouts that were sent to a wrong address, or wages from a former Marshall County employer that were never cashed.

Common types also include stock dividends, mutual fund accounts, credit balances from closed retail accounts, utility security deposits, money orders, and safe deposit box contents. Tax refund checks returned as undeliverable also end up in the system. Businesses must report and transfer unclaimed assets to the state every year under IC 32-34-1-26. Most accounts hold less than $100, but larger balances appear often. The statewide record for a single claim is $750,000, and the average is $1,018.

Claiming Your Marshall County Property

The claim process is free. Never pay a third party to file on your behalf. The state returns 100% of what it holds in your name.

Steps for Marshall County residents to claim their property:

• Search at indianaunclaimed.gov using your last name
• Find the record that matches your name and former address
• Click claim and fill in your contact details
• Submit any requested documents, such as a photo ID or old bank statement
• Wait for the Attorney General's office to approve the claim
• Receive payment by check or direct deposit

Small claims usually need only a photo ID to verify your identity. Larger claims may require more proof, such as a utility bill or a bank statement linking you to the address on record. Claims for deceased relatives require a death certificate and legal documentation showing your right to the estate, such as a will, letters of administration, or a court order. The Attorney General's team reviews each claim separately and may ask for additional material before releasing funds.
