Frequently Asked Questions

Every claim is backed by official government records. We never ask for money upfront, or banking or credit card information. We only get paid when your claim is approved and your funds are issued. Agreements are documented in writing and signed in the presence of a notary for your protection and peace-of-mind.

Recovering funds from most government agencies is difficult with complex procedures, strict deadlines, and bureaucratic obstacles. The vast majority of claims benefit from professional handling. Our expertise ensures deadlines are met, competing claims are resolved, agency procedures are followed correctly, and delay tactics are avoided. We establish relationships with agencies and know how to expedite processing. You get maximum recovery with minimal time on your part - about 15 minutes to provide the authorization.

We make it simple for you because we handle all the heavy lifting throughout our 6-step process: (1) We identify funds in your name through researching government records, (2) We contact you about the presence of unclaimed funds belonging to you, (3) You meet once with a notary for 15 minutes, (4) We handle all paperwork and legal requirements, (5) the government processes the claim, (6) Funds are distributed - you get paid and we get paid only from the recovered funds (never upfront).

Your only requirement is one 15-minute meeting with a public notary to verify your identity and sign the recovery authorization documents. That's it! We handle everything else - all the forms, calls, follow-ups, and bureaucratic hassles.

Yes, but is generally not recommended. Recovery involves complex legal requirements, strict deadlines, and challenging agency procedures. To successfully recover funds on your own requires having the right knowledge, sufficient financial capability, and enough time over a period of many months.

Most people in your situation - those who want the best chance of a successful recovery - decide it makes more sense to engage a professional, experienced organization which already has the right knowledge, the ability to handle expenses at risk, and the time to stay on top of the claim, handle obstacle, and keep it moving forward.

Zero upfront costs. There is no financial risk to you. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid from the funds we successfully recover for you. If we don't recover your money, you pay nothing. Our fee is a percentage of the recovered amount and there are no hidden fees. Everything is clearly stated in your agreement documents before we begin. Our upfront expenses are reimbursed from recovered funds only. If we don't recover your money, you pay nothing and we absorb all those expenses.

The recovery timeline varies depending on the type of claim, which agency holds the funds, and the complexity (competing claims, inheritance issues, or other factors).
Simple claims: 30-90 days
Most claims: 3-6 months
Complex claims: 6+ months

The unclaimed funds we contacted you about have government-imposed deadlines set by state law. After the dormancy period, agencies can legally transfer your funds to the state's general fund through a process called escheatment. Once this happens, recovery becomes nearly impossible even with additional legal actions. Immediate action protects your interests. Every day matters and we won't know your exact deadline or how much money remains available until our authorization agreement is in place so we can investigate further.

Absolutely. We never ask for sensitive financial information like bank accounts, credit cards, or full SSN. We only collect what's necessary for claim verification, all documentation is handled through secure channels, and we never share your information with third parties except as required for your claim. Please see our Privacy Policy for a full description of how we handle your personal information.

Most people we contact do not know this money even exists and may be initially skeptical. Once they learn more and understand this is "for real," they are excited to hear they may have an unexpected windfall coming their way! Government agencies that hold these funds are required to make a notification using available contact information (almost always outdated), but they don't actively search for owners. They lack budget or staff to perform the investigative research that we conduct in order to reach the rightful owners of this money.

It is sourced from public records. Our team specializes in identifying hard-to-find unclaimed assets through our audit process of government public record documents. The initial contact information from these documents is typically outdated. Our team uses a variety of publicly available sources to find the current information.
