Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is unclaimed property?

Unclaimed property includes forgotten bank accounts, uncashed paychecks, insurance proceeds, utility deposits, and more. When companies lose contact with owners, state law requires them to turn these assets over to the government for safekeeping until claimed.

Is searching free?

Yes, searching is 100% free with no signup required. If we find potential claims, you can purchase a detailed Claim Report that includes property IDs, holder contact information, required document checklists, and step-by-step claim instructions specific to your properties. This saves you hours of research and helps avoid common rejection reasons.

How long does it take to get my money?

Processing times vary by state, but most claims are processed within 60-90 days. Simple claims with clear documentation may be faster. We provide step-by-step guidance to help speed up your claim.

Does unclaimed property expire?

No! Unlike other types of debts or claims, unclaimed property never expires. The state holds it indefinitely until the rightful owner (or their heirs) claims it. Property reported 50 years ago is still claimable today.

Can I claim property for deceased relatives?

Yes. Heirs can claim unclaimed property belonging to deceased family members. You'll typically need to provide proof of death and proof of your relationship (such as a will or heirship documentation).
