Why you can trust Unclaimit
A registered California recovery service that finds the unclaimed money the State is holding for you — and does the paperwork to get it back. Built for California residents and their heirs. We’re a private company, not a government agency, and we only earn if you recover.

The honest answer
Legitimate does not mean you have to use us
We make the process easier for people with messy claims, but the free government route is always available. Here is how to evaluate any recovery service — including us.
Why you can trust it
Clear signals, not vague promises
Nothing out of pocket
Every cost comes out of the fee, and the fee exists only if money is recovered.
You stay in control
You review the claim and fee before authorizing us, and may claim directly through the state instead.
The State decides
California independently reviews and releases the funds. We cannot approve a claim ourselves.
California law
§1582 sets the ceiling
California Code of Civil Procedure §1582 caps fees for this type of recovery at 10%. Our state unclaimed-property fee does not exceed that limit, and your exact rate is shown before you sign.
