How Unclaimit works

We do the searching, verifying, and paperwork. You approve, and you get paid.

1

We search

We scan official California state and county records for property matching your name.

2

We verify

A name match is not proof of ownership. We confirm the amount, the source, and your legal claim to it.

3

You approve

You review the claim and the fee, then e-sign to authorize us. You can withdraw any time before filing.

4

You get paid

We file the claim and handle follow-up. Our fee is deducted only from funds actually recovered.

Yes — it’s legitimate

Why you can trust Unclaimit

Recovery services get lumped in with scams. Here’s how we’re different.

Never any upfront cost

We’re paid only when you’re paid — a percentage of what we recover. If nothing is recovered, you owe nothing, including if a claim is denied or withdrawn.

Official public records

Every claim traces to California’s own databases — the State Controller and county tax collectors. Your claim shows exactly which source it came from.

We handle everything — you sign once

We verify the match, prepare every state form, and mail you a ready-to-sign packet with prepaid return postage. Sign it, drop it in any mailbox, and track your claim all the way to the check.

Already started with the State?

Started a claim? We’ll finish it.

Most claims filed with the State die in the paperwork stage — the claim gets created online, and the signed form and documents never make it in. If you have a Claim ID and the State is still waiting on your documentation, we’ll prepare the complete package so all that’s left is your signature.

You pay nothing until you’re paid.

You never pay anything out of pocket. Our 10% fee covers everything — research, verification, every form, filing, postage, tracking, and follow-through with the State. Every cost comes out of the fee, never your pocket, and the fee only exists if your money is recovered.
