The Steps to Success:

WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AND STATE 
We work directly with the county and state treasury departments. We are provided lists and our auditors go to work. As we find individuals owed unclaimed funds in these lists, our team of expert researchers and licensed/registered investigators go to work to locate these claimants, most all of whom are unaware of the monies owed them.

​

PROPERTY TAX AND MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES CREATE UNCLAIMED FUNDS

Properties taken by the county for unpaid taxes or mortgages are eventually sold at auction for the amount owed. Bids that surpass the amount owed create a surplus. The previous owner is entitled to submit a claim for these surplus funds. Surplus notification letters are sent out by the county to the last address on file so previous owners who have moved on are rarely informed. We then step in with our research/investigative/legal teams to find you and assist you in filing these claims.

​

CONTACT AND PROOF
We contact the claimant. An unexpected call of such good news is usually considered “too
good to be true.” We are prepared for this healthy skepticism with documents proving your
right to these funds. Then, with your permission, we email or text this information to you
where you can then verify for yourself the validity of what we are sharing with you.

​

FILING THE CLAIM
Upon choosing Kapital Qwests to serve you in the capacity we know best, our dedicated
team will then take care of all of the legal details required by the county or state to successfully file your claim. Your part is to sit back and relax and know that you are in good hands. And you
haven’t spent a dime.

​

WE BEAR ALL COSTS

NO RISK. No upfront fee required. All services – attorney, document packages, research,
notarizations, mailings, initial and follow-up communications with county and state – necessary
to successfully file your claim are OUR responsibility. We operate on a contigency basis; we
are paid only upon the actual receipt of the claimed funds.

​

HEEDING THE TIME LIMIT

State statutes addressing the filing of these claims include a timeline for submitting the claim to the county. If the claim is not submitted within the statute's guidelines, the funds will escheat to either the state or the county. Unfortunately, once the funds escheat to either government agency, they are no longer accessible or they are dropped into a digital filing system along with hundreds, many times thousands of other unclaimed property records and rarely heard of again. Kapital Qwests is dedicated to reducing the number of these lost funds one claim at a time, but we can only do this with your permission. So, let's make it happen!

​

THE CRITICAL FOLLOW-UP
Our continual follow-up with the county, an imperative part of this process, will insure that you
are kept informed and updated as to the status of your claim.

​

DELIVERY OF FUNDS
Finally, the claim goes through and the county/state writes out the check!
