Our services include Excess Proceeds Recovery, Assistance on Unclaimed State Funds, Bankruptcy Surplus Funds, and Consultation Services. Whether you need assistance filing a petition with the courts for surplus funds from a mortgage foreclosure or navigating the legal claim submission process, County Asset Recovery Services is here to empower you to reclaim your rightful funds. About 1 in 7 people — 33 million altogether — collectively have an estimated $70 billion worth of unclaimed property being held by the county and state treasurers, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. The excess money from properties are usually held by the county for a limited time depending on state law. We can assist you in claiming money from the county, the state, or money can also be held by the federal government. There is so many reasons that your money might be held by state governments from sources such as bank accounts, insurance policies, or state agencies. Anytime a business owes money to someone and  that person doesn't claim it they will send it to the state. It could be an old paycheck from a company that you worked for 10 years ago or maybe you switched cell phone carriers and for some reason you have a credit with your previous carrier. Anytime you over paid on a bill, such as your electric bill or a cable tv service provider. Some people are owed money for mineral rights for a property that they previously owned and they don't even live there anymore. We can search for money from your state's unclaimed property office or if you have lived in more than one state, we can check other state offices, too. The federal government will hold any unclaimed funds that may arise in bankruptcy cases. These could come from an incorrect address for the recipient, uncashed distribution checks, or a death of intended recipient. If you think that you are owed money there are no fees that you would have to  pay to get started. We only get paid for our business expenses and lawyer fees if we are successful but this is all based on contingency. You would pay nothing if we are unable to claim your funds.
