Questions, answered

A fair question. We never ask for money upfront, never ask for bank or account logins, and the state pays you directly, not us. Before you sign, we tell you exactly what the property is, which state holds it and the amount, so you can look it up on that state's official unclaimed property site.

Yes. Every state has its own process, and owners can always file a claim directly with the state for free. Many people choose us because the research, the documents and the back-and-forth with the state take time they'd rather spend elsewhere, and because there's no fee unless the claim is paid.

Nothing upfront. Our fee is a share of what the state actually pays you, agreed in writing before we start, and never above your state's legal limit. If the state doesn't pay, you owe nothing. See our Fees page for each state's limit.

States publish lists of unclaimed property and the names it's held under. We search those public records and reach out when we find a match for you, your business, or a family member.

The state pays you directly. We're paid our agreed fee only after you've received your money.

It depends on the state and the claim. Reviews can take a few weeks to several months, and estate or company-history claims take longer than simple ones. We track your claim and update you at each stage.

Usually the signed agreement, the state's claim form, a photo ID for the signer, and records that link you to the name and address on file. For a business, a W-9. For a merged or renamed company or an estate, the documents that show the change or the heirs. We tell you exactly what your claim needs.

We currently file claims in Wisconsin, Alaska, Nevada, New York, Colorado, New Jersey and Wyoming, each under that state's own rules. Live somewhere else? Contact us and we'll check what's possible.

We use your information only to work on your claim, share it only with the state handling it, and never sell it. See our Privacy policy.
