Unclaimed Money

Unclaimed Money

If Global Asset Tracing has contacted you, you may be the rightful owner of unclaimed money. It may be because you have lost money, or you may be an estate executor or personal representative. You could be the trustee or receiver that can collect assets owing to a company in the case of corporate bankruptcy.

Alternatively, you may be able to help reunite a family member with their unclaimed assets.

How can Global Asset Tracing help?

Where Global Asset Tracing identifies a rightful owner, we will contact them to notify them of the unclaimed amount and offer assistance in recovering it. Global Asset Tracing uses newspaper, social media, LinkedIn and probate searches, genealogy tracing and family history research to identify money’s rightful owner.

Global Asset Tracing will prepare and file the claims on your behalf and communicate with you during the collection process to ensure you are receiving regular updates.

How long will it take to receive my unclaimed money?

The time frame for receiving unclaimed money will depend on several factors, including whether we have to obtain probate for an estate, whether we have located all the heirs and if we have to petition a court. Generally, it takes between three months to a year to obtain payment, although some cases may exceed this time frame.

How do I know my information is kept safe?

We adhere to a strict privacy policy that meets all requirements set out by both federal and provincial governments in Canada and the United States of America, so your personal information is kept secure at all times.
