FAQs Unclaimed Funds

For several reasons, NO. First, we charge $0 in upfront fees. We don’t earn a fee unless we collect, so we wouldn’t spend the time if we didn’t think we could collect the money for you. Second, GRT has been in business over 30 years and handled thousands of recovery cases, so we would never jeopardize our company’s namesake and longevity with an unscrupulous service. Lastly, we are partnered with Golden Law PC and all filings are verified through their firm. Attorneys are officers of the court and held to the highest ethical standards in the land.

Unclaimed money is very common, and most people have no idea of its existence- let alone where to find it. Unclaimed money is public information and can stem from hundreds of sources, from private to government unclaimed payments. GRT will occasionally work a different case, but we primarily specialize in bankruptcy funds because of our familiarity with the processes and our partnership with Golden Law.

Our fees range from 10-40% of the amount recovered, depending on the size of the claim and complexity of the case.

Absolutely! If you have the time to learn the processes and the required documentation, time to gather and complete the validating documentation and time/patience in working with the regulators than you can save some money by doing it yourself. A willingness to learn, patience and strong organizational skills will lead to your success in recovery.

In short, we are licensed and have been at this a very long time, and we are partnered with a law firm that specializes in bankruptcy. The few recovery services left in existence today have nowhere close to the experience and credibility that we’ve established over the years.

A few years ago the Courts changed policy and procedures to prohibit an assignment of interest in claims by restricting payments made directly to the original beneficiaries only. So, if we ‘bought’ the claim from you, the Court will only issue the recovery payment to you, which in most instances would not work out well for us. This restructuring of the Court caused most of the recovery services back then to close up shop, for obvious reasons.

A significant portion of the work involved is consistently monitoring the status of the case and working with regulators as needed. As such, we are not able to help or consult with recovery in cases for which we are not engaged.

Absolutely! First, make sure they’re familiar with the process, have the proper documentation and have the capability/staffing to continually monitor the claim. Sometimes claims are suspended for missing documentation and they would never know unless they continually monitor the status. Lastly, and the most important part, will they take the case on contingency or will they charge by the hour?

No recovery is guaranteed, for anyone. Bankruptcies are complex, and working with the Federal Government is often complex. Sometimes a ‘piece’ is missing from the puzzle to validate ownership of the funds; several reasons a claim can fail. For this reason and those given within here, you need a professional you can trust and one with experience and the resources to navigate the complexities of the process.

Most claims are processed within 4-6 weeks after submission and the money disbursed shortly thereafter. We can help speed up the process by making sure all identification documents are available and up to date (driver’s license, passport, etc) and Notary documents are promptly and accurately signed.

Yes! If you believe you could be owed money due to different life events we are happy to do a preliminary search for you. We will need your full name, address and confirmation of personal identifiers (we will provide these to you).
