Official statutory text
A. Intangible property and any income or increment derived
therefrom held in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of another
person is presumed abandoned unless the owner, within seven (7)

decreased the principal, accepted payment of principal or income,
communicated concerning the property, or otherwise indicated an
interest as evidenced by a memorandum on file with the fiduciary.
B. Holders of presumed abandoned intangible property shall
annually report and remit all proceeds accrued to date, including
the current balance held by the holder. When and if any part of the

longer, the holder must report and remit all interest, additions,
and increments accrued to the account of the owner. Any additional
