Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

Sec. 47. (a) Property held under this chapter by the attorney general is subject to the right of another state to take custody of the property if:

(1) the property was paid or delivered to the attorney general because the records of the holder did not reflect a last known address in the other state of the apparent owner and:

(A) the other state establishes that the last known address of the apparent owner or other person entitled to the property was in the other state; or

(B) under the law of the other state, the property has become subject to a claim by the other state of abandonment;

(2) the records of the holder did not accurately identify the owner of the property, the last known address of the owner was in another state, and, under the law of the other state, the property has become subject to a claim by the other state of abandonment;

(3) the property was subject to the custody of the attorney general of this state under section 15 of this chapter and, under the law of the state of domicile of the holder, the property has become subject to a claim by the state of domicile of the holder of abandonment; or

(4) the property:

(A) is a sum payable on a traveler's check, money order, or similar instrument that was purchased in the other state and delivered to the attorney general under section 16 of this chapter; and

(B) under the law of the other state, has become subject to a claim by the other state of abandonment.

(b) A claim by another state to recover property under this section must be presented in a form prescribed by the attorney general, unless the attorney general waives presentation of the form.

(c) The attorney general shall decide a claim under this section not later than ninety (90) days after it is presented. If the attorney general determines that the other state is entitled under subsection (a) to custody of the property, the attorney general shall allow the claim and pay or deliver the property to the other state.

(d) The attorney general may require another state, before recovering property under this section, to agree to indemnify this state and its agents, officers, and employees against any liability on a claim to the property.
