Unclaimed funds are financial assets that have been abandoned or forgotten by their rightful owners. These funds become unclaimed when:

• Address changes: You moved and didn't update your address with all institutions
• Forgotten accounts: Old bank accounts, insurance policies, or investments left inactive
• Uncashed checks: Refunds, dividends, or payroll checks that were never deposited
• Deceased relatives: Inheritance or assets from family members you weren't aware of
• Business closures: Deposits or refunds from companies that went out of business

In the United States, over $60 billion in unclaimed property is currently held by state governments, waiting to be returned to rightful owners. And in California alone there is over $14 billion in unclaimed funds.

Many people are surprised to discover they have unclaimed funds. Common signs include:

• You've moved frequently and may have lost track of accounts
• You've had relatives pass away who may have left assets
• You've worked for companies that have closed or changed ownership
• You've had insurance policies, utility deposits, or investment accounts
• You've received notifications about unclaimed property (which many people ignore)

The only way to know for certain is through a comprehensive search. We use proprietary search methods that go beyond basic state websites to uncover funds you might not find on your own.

Self-searching limitations:

• State websites only show a fraction of available funds
• You must search each state individually (most people have lived in multiple states)
• Many databases aren't accessible to the public
• Complex claim forms often get rejected due to errors
• Time-consuming process that most people abandon

Our comprehensive approach includes:

• state database search using your current and previous names
• Access to federal and private databases not available to the public
• Professional document preparation by licensed investigators
• Direct relationships with state agencies for faster processing
• Complete paperwork handling from start to finish

Zero upfront costs. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

• No fees if we don't recover your money
• You only pay when funds are successfully recovered
• No hidden fees, retainers, or surprise charges
• Our fee is a percentage of funds recovered (industry-standard rates)
• You keep the majority of all recovered funds

What this means for you:

• Zero financial risk on your part
• We're incentivized to maximize your recovery
• No out-of-pocket expenses for searches, paperwork, or processing
• Transparent pricing with no surprises

Our fee structure ensures we only succeed when you do, aligning our interests with yours completely.

Timeline breakdown:

• Initial search: 1-2 business days
• Document preparation: 3-5 business days
• Claim submission: Same day once documents are ready
• State processing: Up to 180 days subject to backlog and case complexity

Factors that affect timing:

• State processing speeds vary (some states are faster than others)
• Complexity of the claim and required documentation
• Whether additional research is needed

What we control vs. what we don't: While we can't speed up state processing times, we ensure you're never the bottleneck. If there is any issue with your claim, we have a direct line with the State to file an appeal
