EquiSearch Success Stories

Over the last 20 years, EquiSearch has returned lost assets to more than 20,000 owners. We've made recoveries ranging from a few hundred dollars to over a million, for people at all levels of society. Here are a few representative stories, in their own words, taken from our files.

“You recovered an asset that was unknown to either the executor or to me as the temporary administrator, and your conversion into cash for easy distribution to the heirs at law was commendable. Under these circumstances I would certainly not hesitate to recommend your services in the future.”

Howard W., Georgia

“I send this note to thank you for your work and effort to retrieve stocks that I didn’t know I had. I’ve never heard of your group but you are a valuable group, and you did an excellent job. Good luck in the future and I hope you are able to help more people.”

Theresa D., Connecticut

“My co-executor and I genuinely appreciate the professional manner in which you handled this matter. We had tried unsuccessfully for a number of years to effect issuance of this certificate. Your services were expeditious, and as stated, highly professional, and in my opinion your compensation is quite reasonable.”

John R. Texas

“I am pleased to write and thank all of you at EquiSearch who helped our family recover the…stock that was left unclaimed after my father’s death. You were very patient and diligent working with all of us through this process. (Without EquiSearch) we would not have known about this unclaimed asset.”

Pam D., Wyoming

“I thank you and your personnel for the prompt and professional services rendered on my behalf. I had no knowledge of the assets due me from my sister’s estate. I received the checks….Thank you and God bless you.”

Ruby P., Florida

What happens to
lost assets?

If owners don’t make a claim, most lost property is eventually turned over to the state government. After that, the state may be entitled to keep any interest. Eventually, you might find out the state had your asset and get the principal value back. Many people never succeed in making a recovery. Today, state treasuries have over $24 billion in unclaimed assets.
