Frequently Asked Questions
If you’ve received a communication from Reclaim Tree, it’s natural to have questions. Here are answers to some of the most common ones.
Is Reclaim Tree a government agency?
No. Reclaim Tree is a private research and claims assistance service. We are not a government agency, but we work with government offices that hold unclaimed funds.
How did you find my information?
We use public records, government databases, and other lawful research methods to identify potential matches between unclaimed funds and individuals. We do not purchase sensitive financial data.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We do not charge upfront fees. Our compensation is based on a percentage of funds successfully recovered on your behalf.
What if it turns out the funds aren’t mine?
If, during the verification process, it becomes clear that the funds are not connected to you, then no claim is filed and there is no fee.
How long does the process take?
Timeframes vary depending on the agency holding the funds and the complexity of the claim. Some claims may be resolved in a few weeks, while others can take several months.
Why can’t I just claim the funds myself?
In some cases, you can. However, the process can be difficult to navigate, especially if you’re not familiar with the specific agency’s requirements. Our role is to identify the opportunity and help you complete the process correctly and efficiently.
How do I verify that this is legitimate?
You can contact us directly using the information on this website, rather than any number printed on a letter. We can explain what we’ve found and how to independently verify the agency holding the funds.
