The Process
Four straightforward steps. We handle the heavy lifting, and you pay nothing until your money is in hand.
We research public foreclosure and court records to identify properties that sold for a surplus — then we reach out to the rightful claimant: the former owner, or in many cases, their heirs.
We confirm you're the rightful party and gather the documentation the court requires — proof of ownership, identity, and (for heirs) estate or succession records. Our founder's audit background means the paperwork is done right the first time.
We prepare and submit the claim to the appropriate Illinois court or the State Treasurer's unclaimed property program, then follow up persistently until it's processed. You stay informed at every stage.
Once the funds are released, you receive your share. Our fee — agreed in writing up front — is the only cost, and it comes out of the recovery. No recovery, no fee.
No risk to you
Our entire fee is contingent on success. If we don't recover your surplus, you owe us nothing — no consultation fee, no paperwork fee, no hidden charges. When we do recover, our agreed fee of 20–30% comes directly out of the funds, and never exceeds the maximum allowed under Illinois law.
