The process
How It Works
Different recovery categories follow different procedures — a county surplus process, a state unclaimed-property program, and a bankruptcy court each have their own rules. The general path below applies across categories.
A4K Identifies a Potential Recovery
Research may indicate that funds could potentially be associated with an individual, family, estate, or business.
We Contact the Potential Claimant
A4K reaches out by phone, text, letter, or email and explains why we are contacting you.
We Review the Situation
You speak with an A4K representative who answers your questions and describes the type of matter involved.
Documentation Is Reviewed
Applicable ownership, identity, property, business, estate, or other documentation may be required.
A Recovery Strategy Is Established
A4K determines the appropriate administrative process for the jurisdiction and category of recovery.
Attorney Partners Participate When Necessary
Where legal services are required, A4K works with licensed attorney partners to address applicable legal requirements.
The Claim Is Submitted and Tracked
A4K assists with applicable administrative processing, correspondence, and follow-up.
Funds Are Disbursed if the Claim Is Approved
Payment depends on the applicable agency, court, custodian, documentation, jurisdiction, and legal entitlement.
Recovery is never guaranteed
A4K does not guarantee that funds exist, that a claim will be approved, or that any particular amount will be recovered. Eligibility depends on facts, documentation, liens, competing claims, and the requirements of the applicable agency, court, or jurisdiction.Timelines vary
The length of a matter may depend on the jurisdiction, the agency or court, the documentation required, estate issues, competing claims, and administrative processing. A4K will not promise a timeframe it cannot control.Fees
No Upfront Recovery Fees
A4K works on a contingency basis for applicable recovery services. A4K's compensation is based on an agreed percentage of successfully recovered funds where permitted by applicable law. Fees, agreements, limits, and requirements may vary based on jurisdiction and type of recovery.
