For starters, we have been in business for over 15 years.  If this was a scam and we were doing things illegally, we’d be in jail for committing fraud this many years.  We are proud of our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.  We don’t charge anything to start, we cover the upfront costs and if your claim is denied we take it as a loss and still don’t ask you to pay us.  We get paid only when you get paid.  We are successful together. 

No.  We are the opposite.  If we’ve contacted you that means you are likely owed money.  We help individuals and businesses adhere to the laws governing a claim and help complete all the steps necessary in completing their claim.  A call or letter from us is great news!

They are lost assets that have not been claimed by rightful owners required by law be turned over to county, state and federal governments until they are claimed.

There are many sources of unclaimed assets – stocks, bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, dividends, social security checks, tax refunds and many more sources.   Billions of dollars are being held by governments with more being added annually.

There are several reasons why the organization that originally held your funds might not have contacted you. Some common reasons include:

  • You may have moved, and the holder was unaware of your new address
  • There may have been an error or inconsistency in the address they have on file for you
  • The holder’s records could be incomplete or poorly managed
  • The entity that held your funds might not have policies in place to actively reach out to individuals to inform them of unclaimed assets
  • There may have been little incentive for the holder to locate you or return the funds
  • The holder could have gone out of business or been acquired by a new owner
  • You might have an unlisted phone number or otherwise be hard to locate
  • The holder may lack the necessary information to verify that you are the rightful recipient, heir or beneficiary of the funds they hold

We don’t get paid unless you receive money.  We don’t ask/charge any money upfront.  Over our 15 years of helping clients we have improved our processes to maximize our clients’ returns and we’re good at what we do.

Our fees are based on what State and County statutes legally allow.  We follow the law.  If any company tries to charge more than the law allows or charges money up front, we recommend avoidance.

This depends on where your matter is pending.  Statutory time and court scheduling are a few influencing factors.  Most cases distribute 12-18 months, some are quicker and others longer.
We keep you posted to any time lines we learn of as we continue working on your case behind the scenes.

State laws dictate how long you can recover your funds before the government escheats them.  Some states we have years to recover and others we only have months.  We treat every case the same and work promptly to help recovery your money before the government keeps it permanently.

Depending on the statutes of the state where your money is being held there is a time frame where your money can become permanent “escheatment”.  Meaning the government permanently keeps it and you can no longer make any claims to recover.  Once this occurs you lose your money.

Review our risk-free agreement, sign and return it to our office as soon as you can.  We will then start our due diligence and initiate your claim for you.
