NEW ORLEANS — The Unclaimed Property Annual Mall Show will take place this Saturday at Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie.
Louisiana State Treasurer John M. Schroder and his staff will be there from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the center court, helping people search for their unclaimed property.
“With more than $1 billion in unclaimed property in our system, and nearly $300 million of that from the Greater New Orleans area alone, we have a lot of work to do at this year’s event,” says Louisiana Treasurer John M. Schroder. “We helped return more than $420,000 in 2022, and I have high hopes that we can break that record this year. This is your money, Louisiana, and we want to return it to you.”
One in six individuals in Louisiana has unclaimed property, with claims averaging $900, according to the State Treasurer.
The event is free and open to the public. Officials are asking that you bring valid proof of identity and any additional documentation with you.
Everyone who is in the line by 3 p.m. will receive help.
