Can I recover my unclaimed property or inheritance myself?

Yes you can. Filing a claim for the return of unclaimed property is similar to the concept of filing for a tax refund. The complexity of proving ownership of the property will depend upon the specific circumstances of your case. Success will depend on experience, knowledge of unclaimed property laws and rules, time availability, the degree of difficulty related to proving ownership and working with others who may have an interest in the property. Government data shows that more than half of all claims are rejected for failure to provide adequate proof of ownership. Unclaimed property administrators require that the documents provided to prove ownership meet a preponderance of evidence standard to avoid lawsuits. Our success rate is over 97.5%
