What this service concerns
Unclaimed funds are amounts held for an owner who has not collected them. This can happen after a move, a closed account, a change of name, or when a relative has passed away and no one knew where to look.
An inquiry does not confirm that money is available. It starts the conversation and the research.
Who it may help
Individuals and families who suspect something may be held in their name, or who want help checking. It may also be relevant if you are handling matters for a relative.
Common obstacles
Records are spread across different offices and use different search methods. Names and addresses change over time. Claim forms ask for proof that can be hard to assemble, and it is not always clear who to contact or what is required.
How Equitrace assists
We research your situation, explain what we find in plain language, and help you understand the steps to pursue a claim if one appears possible. You review the service agreement and contingency terms before you are asked for documentation.
There are no upfront fees. We only get paid when you recover funds.
What to expect after you inquire
We will reach out to discuss your situation and identify appropriate next steps. We will not ask for sensitive details through the form. If we move forward, documentation is requested through an appropriate channel after you have reviewed the terms. See the full process.
