Latent Funds

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that being contacted about unclaimed funds can raise questions. Here are the most common ones.

How did you find me?

We use publicly available records to match unclaimed funds to potential beneficiaries. Government agencies publish lists of unclaimed estates and dormant accounts as a matter of public record. Our role is to connect the right people to funds that are rightfully theirs.

Is this a scam?

We understand the concern. Legitimate fund recovery firms never ask for upfront payment, never request sensitive information like bank details or social security numbers via email, and always provide a written agreement before any work begins. We encourage you to verify any claims we make using the government sources we reference.

Why can't I just claim the funds myself?

In many cases, you can. Government agencies accept direct claims from beneficiaries. However, the process often requires locating the correct filing, understanding the legal requirements, gathering supporting documentation, and navigating bureaucratic procedures. Our service handles this entire process for you.

What is your fee?

Our fee is a percentage of the recovered funds, agreed upon in writing before any work begins. If we are unable to recover the funds, you owe nothing. The exact percentage depends on the complexity of the case and is always disclosed upfront.

What types of funds do you recover?

We focus on unclaimed estates, dormant financial accounts, and other funds held by government agencies on behalf of individuals or their heirs. These funds often go unclaimed simply because the rightful owner or their family does not know they exist.

How long does the recovery process take?

Timelines vary depending on the type of fund and the agency involved. Simple claims can be resolved in a few weeks. More complex estate matters may take several months. We keep you informed throughout the process and provide regular status updates.

Do I need to provide any personal information?

To proceed with a claim, we will need documentation to verify your identity and your relationship to the funds. This typically includes a government-issued ID and, for estate matters, relevant legal documents. We never ask for bank account details, passwords, or payment information.

What if I'm not sure the funds belong to me?

That is perfectly fine. When we contact you, we provide enough context for you to assess whether the claim is relevant. There is no obligation to proceed, and we are happy to answer questions before any agreement is signed.
