1) NEW PROPERTY TYPE CODES IN EFFECT
Indiana has adopted new codes in uniformity with the revised NAUPA Standard Electronic File Format ("NAUPA II Standard") that was nationally published on December 8, 2010. All November 1 reports must comply with this update. Failure to apply relevant codes will result in report failure. Download code list here.
Under Indiana law, almost every business organization (and government body) is required to report and remit unclaimed property to the Indiana Attorney General's Unclaimed Property Division whenever the property owner cannot be found. Holders are businesses, organizations, and any other entity in possession of unclaimed property. Unclaimed assets are considered abandoned when the property has been inactive for one to fifteen (1-15) years (depending on property type), and attempts by the holder to contact the owner through the due diligence process have been unsuccessful. Businesses that fail to comply with the Unclaimed Property Act will be charged interest and are subject to additional penalties.
