Frequently Asked Questions

Unclaimed property is generally defined as any financial asset left inactive by its owner for a period of time.

State laws requires corporations, businesses, associations, financial institutions, and insurance companies (“holders”) to annually report and deliver property to the State if there has been no activity on the account or contact with the owner for a specified period of time.

In reference to California, Investigators are registered with the state specifically to locate and facilitate claims for their owners or heirs. They as well as their clients are paid from the state once a claim is successfully filed. Do not confuse "Investigators" with "Private Investigators".

Every case will differ in duration. Some cases may only take 3 months, while others may last up to a year. Factors that effect durations are liens, heirs who don't agree leading the case to go to probate, and dishonesty.

Not every lien holder is entitled to claim your proceeds. If the lien holder did not attach the lien to you (you would have received a notice from the court), then they are not entitled. 

Those who do have higher entitlement.:

• Any federal or state government entity (i.e.: HOA, HUD, IRS, unpaid property taxes, etc.)
• A lien holder that has attached their lien to you in a court proceeding (i.e.: child support)

It is always best to ask a tax consultant for tax advice. These funds would not be considered as income, therefore taxes do not have to be paid.
