Refers to assets and properties left behind by deceased individuals. These may include financial assets like bank accounts, stocks, and retirement funds, as well as physical properties like real estate or personal belongings. If an estate isn't properly settled or if heirs are unknown or cannot be located, the assets can end up as unclaimed property. Our firm works to identify the potential heirs or beneficiaries of these estates and assists them in claiming their rightful inheritance, navigating through legal and administrative processes involved in estate settlements.

Refers to claims imposed by government entities on properties due to unpaid taxes. When a tax lien is placed on a property, it must be paid off before the property can be sold or refinanced. If the property is sold at a tax lien sale for more than the amount owed in back taxes, there may be surplus funds. These surplus funds, after covering the tax debt, are typically owed to the former property owner. Surplus funds recovery businesses may work to identify such cases and assist the former owners in recovering these excess funds.

Refers to assets or funds that have been left inactive, forgotten, or unclaimed for a certain period, leading to their transfer to state custody. This can include bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policies, stocks, bonds, inheritances, or even contents of safe deposit boxes. The period after which property is considered abandoned varies by state and type of asset. The primary goal of our company is to identify such properties, trace their rightful owners, and assist them in claiming these assets, often navigating complex legal and bureaucratic processes.

Refers to a specific situation where a property, typically real estate, has been repossessed by a lender (like a bank) due to the owner's failure to keep up with mortgage payments. After a foreclosure sale, if the property sells for more than what was owed, there might be surplus or excess funds. These surplus funds are often held by the county or state government. The role of a surplus funds recovery business in this context is to identify such excess funds and assist the former property owners or their heirs in claiming these funds. This process includes navigating legal requirements and filing necessary documentation to recover the surplus funds from the foreclosure sale.

Refers to assets or funds that are no longer under the active control of their rightful owner but have not necessarily been abandoned. This can include money from bank accounts, insurance policies, dividends, uncashed checks, or forgotten deposits. These assets become "unclaimed" after a period of inactivity, as defined by law. Once this period passes, businesses or financial institutions holding these assets are required to hand them over to state unclaimed property programs. Our company's role is to locate the rightful owners and assist them in reclaiming these assets.
