Licensed Research Firm · No Upfront Fees
The Government Is Holding Your Money.
We Help You Claim It.
Billions in unclaimed funds sit in government accounts right now — surplus proceeds, dormant escrow balances, and forgotten property. We research, file, and fight for your money. You pay nothing until your check arrives.
No fees until you receive your check. Ever.
The process
Three steps. Zero upfront cost.
We handle everything — the research, the paperwork, the court filings. You just wait for your check.
We Research
We dig through government databases, court records, and public filings to identify funds held in your name. Most people don't even know this money exists.
We File
We handle all the paperwork, legal filings, and court costs — entirely upfront, out of our own pocket. You never write a check or hire an attorney.
You Get Paid
When your funds are released and your check arrives, that's when we collect our agreed fee. Not before. Not ever before.
Why trust us
You've probably seen scams. We're not one.
We understand the skepticism. There are bad actors out there who prey on people hoping to recover money. That's exactly why we operate the way we do.
Research Excess is a licensed research firm. We work on a contingency basis — meaning we only get paid when you do. We advance all court costs and filing fees ourselves. If we don't recover your funds, we don't collect a dime.
Our model only works if we're honest, thorough, and successful. That's not just good ethics — it's good business.
Research firm
We operate as a legitimate, Research Organization — not a middleman or lead generator.
Contingency-only model
We advance all costs. You pay nothing until your funds are in hand.
Transparent process
We explain every step, every fee, and every timeline before you sign anything.
Attorneys are retained by us as required
The government can't fund this search for you. We can — and we do.
What we recover
Money the government is holding — that belongs to you.
These funds exist in government accounts right now. They're not lost — they're just unclaimed.
Government-Held Surplus Proceeds
When a government entity sells a property or asset and collects more than what was owed, the surplus belongs to the original owner. These funds often go unclaimed for years because no one tells the owner they exist.
Dormant Escrow Balances
Escrow accounts from real estate transactions, legal settlements, or business deals sometimes hold balances that were never disbursed. That money is yours — it just needs someone to claim it.
Unclaimed Property
Bank accounts, insurance payouts, utility deposits, and other assets that go dormant are turned over to the state. Every state holds billions in unclaimed property waiting for rightful owners.
Your money has been waiting.
Let's go get it.
No obligation. No upfront cost. Just answers.
We'll research your situation and tell you honestly what we find — even if the answer is nothing.
