About UCP TracersAbout Unclaimed Assets
Unclaimed property can arise from many different types of accounts.
Common forms of unclaimed assets include: savings and checking accounts, stocks, uncashed dividend or payroll checks, litigation funds, escrow accounts, estate and trust distributions, insurance proceeds, life insurance policies, annuities, certificates of deposits, mineral rights, royalty payments, and many other different property types. Most of these accounts are associated with entities such as estates including intestate and testate succession, trusts, corporations, limited partnerships, bankruptcies, individual accounts/investments or their heirs and beneficiaries.
Unclaimed assets, also known as abandoned property, unclaimed property, lost assets etc. among missing and unknown estates cases are compiled into long lists by various courthouses and other financial institutions. Many of these accounts have been unclaimed or suspended for many years and sometimes even decades totaling billions of dollars in the United States.
Any intangible property that has been dormant and deemed unclaimed is considered to have left possession of its rightful owner, without having directly entered the possession of any other person or entity. The dormancy period is usually three years for most properties, but this can vary depending on the type of property before the property becomes classified as unclaimed.
Research and Claims Services
Comprehensive research and claim assistance from identification through recovery and distribution.
Tracing the Rightful Claimant
Through our location services we locate rightful claimants using proprietary databases, probate, and genealogy research among other resources.
After a potential claimant has been located, we cross reference the information on the account to corroborate whether the rightful claimant(s) have been identified.
→Legal Representation
When there is a claim for an estate and the value exceeds the small estate threshold, it is necessary to start a probate proceeding, this usually requires legal representation.
We work with probate attorneys on a contingency basis since it is quite common that a claim for an estate asset will need legal representation. We always advance the costs so there are never any up-front fees for our clients.
→Identifying The Asset
UCP Tracers reviews thousands of unclaimed accounts to determine why an asset has become dormant. In many cases, the owner is deceased, has moved without updating their address, or has otherwise lost contact with the holder.
Some assets may become dormant simply because the owner was never in direct contact with the holder.
→Investigation and Records Search
After all the research has been completed and all the documents have been obtained, we gather all detailed information about the account to verify the claimant’s entitlement.
The claimant’s entitlement is usually verified through intestate or testate succession, entitlement through adoption, listed as a beneficiary in a trust, or on an insurance policy etc.
→Distribution of Funds
After a claim has been submitted and approved, a check will be mailed out directly to you. There will be no other fees charged to you except for our agreed upon commission.
