Services
Research, investigation, claim filing and business recovery: everything it takes to get unclaimed property back to the people and companies it belongs to.
Unclaimed Property Search
The Texas Comptroller holds unclaimed property for millions of owners, and money is often listed under an old address, a maiden name or a former business name. We search every one so nothing slips through.
Investigation & Documentation
Finding a record is only half the job. Texas requires proof of identity, address history and ownership, and claims for estates or businesses need more. We work out exactly what's required and help you gather it.
Claim Filing & Follow-Up
We complete the claim forms, submit them to the Texas Comptroller and handle the back-and-forth. If the state asks for more information, we take care of it and keep you posted until the claim is paid.
Business Recovery
Uncashed checks from customers and vendors, utility deposits, tax refunds and account credits are regularly turned over to the State of Texas when a business moves, changes names or closes an account. We find and recover them for you.
What we recover
When a bank, employer, insurer or company can't reach the owner of money it holds, Texas law requires it to turn that money over to the state. Common examples include:
Dormant checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit and cashier's checks.
Final paychecks, vendor payments, rebates and refund checks that were never cashed.
Life insurance proceeds, policy refunds, stocks, dividends and mutual fund balances.
Utility and rental deposits, overpayments, account credits and safe deposit box contents.
Questions
Yes. Texas lets owners search and file claims directly with the Comptroller, at no cost. Many people come to us because they don't have time to search and file, their claim needs extra documentation, or they're claiming for an estate or a business. We handle all of that for you.
Individuals pay a flat $49.99 per claim, for claims of $500 or more. For businesses, the fee depends on the size of the claim: claims from $1,000 to $1,999 are a flat $99.99, claims from $2,000 to $7,999 are a flat $199.99, and claims of $8,000 or more are 10% of the amount recovered. Before we file anything, we'll show you what we found and put the fee in writing in a client agreement, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and signed it.
Yes. We take on individual claims of $500 or more and business claims of $1,000 or more.
It depends on how much documentation the claim needs. Simple claims can be paid within weeks, while estate and business claims can take several months. We keep you updated the whole way.
The claim is filed in your name or your business's name, as the rightful owner. Your client agreement explains exactly how payment and our fee are handled.
Yes. Estate and heir claims are a big part of what we do. We'll help you work out which documents Texas requires, such as a death certificate and proof of your right to claim.
