Recovery services
Heirs & Estates
When someone passes away, funds connected to a former property, an account, or a court matter can remain unclaimed for years — often without the family ever being told.
The situation
Funds That Outlive an Owner
Notices about surplus proceeds, unclaimed property, or court-held funds are usually mailed to the last known address on record. When the owner has died, those notices frequently reach no one.
Recovery matters in this category may involve:
- Estates and estate representatives
- A single heir or multiple heirs
- Deceased former property owners
- Deceased account holders
- Probate-related documentation
- Ownership or heirship verification
Where several heirs are involved, additional documentation and coordination among the parties is common, and the applicable agency or court may have specific requirements about who may file and how funds are divided.
What helps
Documentation Often Requested
- Identity documentation for each participating heir or representative
- Records establishing the relationship to the deceased person
- Estate, probate, or letters of administration documentation where applicable
- Property, account, or case records connecting the deceased to the funds
- Additional items required by the applicable agency, court, or custodian
We will tell you what is needed and why, and we will not ask you to gather documents before you understand the process.
