FAQ's
Simply put, what does your company do?
We investigate and identify lost, forgotten, and abandoned property as
well as identify dormant and unclaimed assets. Once we locate such properties
we identify the legal owners and represent them in the recovery process.
How could I have missing assets? What could they possibly be from?
* Dormant assets often belong to people who have passed away.
* Situations such as divorce, death, relocation, job loss, and business
hardship are common reasons assets become dormant, lost, or ignored.
* It is possible that a relative had investments, insurance policies,
or bank accounts that you did not know about.
* It is possible that a financial matter was overlooked during a time
of stress.
Is there a difference between Unclaimed and Dormant assets?
Dormant assets - are typically stocks, bonds, checking, savings, or retirement
accounts which have had no activity for an extended period of time. Unclaimed
assets - are typically insurance policy benefits, inheritance, un-cashed
cashier's checks, deposits, refunds, sales proceeds, escrow monies, judicial
settlements, etc., that have never been claimed or the attempt to claim
the asset failed.
What is the cost of your services?
Each case is unique. Fees are determined by what is required to document
ownership, the risk we take relative to the amount we must spend to prove
ownership, and the anticipated difficulty in recovering the assets on
your behalf. Service fees are fully disclosed in advance.
Do I have to pay any money up front to use your service?
No fees are charged up front, ever. Nor are there ANY hidden fees. We
will pay for the entire recovery process upfront and receive reimbursement
when we successfully claim your asset for you.
How does your company get paid?
Once we successfully claim your asset, the holder will directly mail you
a check for your lost funds, less our fee. (The fee is ALWAYS agreed upon
before the recovery process begins).
If the assets are mine, why do I need you?
Claiming your asset is a process that requires expertise, time, attention,
and often upfront costs such as legal fees. People hire us for different
reasons. We work with people whose lives are busy, who want to reduce
risk and increase their odds of success, and who want to speed up payment.
All our clients find our services to be valuable.
What are the odds that I could do this myself?
That will depend on your experience, time availability, and the difficulty
of proving your right of ownership. Government data shows that a huge
amount of claims are rejected for failure to provide proof of ownership
which we specialize in finding. Fund holders require irrefutable evidence
to avoid lawsuits. Due to our resources, technology, and experience, we
have a 90+ percent approval rate.
How would I get paid?
Almost all the time, your check will come directly from the fund holder.
However it could also come from an attorney's trust account, or our trust
account. Circumstances of your claim will determine how distribution occurs.
What should I do?
Your effort will require you to simply review, complete, and mail back
a few documents. No more than 5 minutes of your time will be required
to do this. Once the completed documents are received, our staff will
handle all the research, all the probate (when required), verify that
the claim is not fraudulent, and complete all the numerous tedious details
necessary to get you paid as soon as possible.
What happens if you are not successful? Do I lose my claim right?
In the unlikely event that we can't claim your asset, the lost funds will
remain with the holder and you will be able to file a claim as many times
as you want. Again, we absorb the cost of all document's and procedures
that are involved with your claim.
How do I know this isn't some kind of scam?
We will never ask for any payment of any kind up front, nor do we ask
for any personal or banking information not relevant to your claim. All
costs incurred by us in locating assets along with administrative, miscellaneous
and legal fees, as needed, are borne by us. We are paid a small percentage
of the total recovered asset amount. Our small fees are regulated and
in full accordance with each state's laws.
