Find answers to the most common questions about unclaimed money and our claims process.
-
Unclaimed court money is money that has been paid into court but has not been claimed by the person entitled to receive it. It may relate to compensation, deposits, fines, costs, or other court-linked payments that remain uncollected.
-
If your name, a former property, a court matter, or a past transaction is linked to unclaimed funds, you may be entitled to recover them. We investigate the available information, verify whether a valid entitlement exists, and guide you through the next steps.
-
Getting started is simple. You provide us with a few basic details, and we carry out an initial review. If we identify a potential claim, we explain the process clearly and, where appropriate, assist you with the paperwork and recovery.
-
No upfront payment is required. We work on a no win, no fee basis, which means you only pay if we successfully recover money for you, and only in line with the agreed terms.
-
Timescales vary depending on the type of claim, the records available, and how quickly third parties respond. Some cases can progress quickly, while others may take longer where additional checks or supporting documents are needed. We keep you updated throughout.
-
This depends on the type of claim, but it usually helps if you can provide your full name, current contact details, previous names if relevant, past addresses, information about the property or court matter, and any documents that may support your entitlement. If you do not have everything, we can still assess what may be possible.
-
Older cases can still sometimes be investigated, although the process may require more supporting evidence because records may be limited or archived. Where possible, we help identify what information is available and what documents may be needed to support a claim.
-
Yes, in some circumstances. A claim may be made by a personal representative, executor, administrator, or another person with the legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. Supporting documents will usually be required.
-
That does not always prevent a claim from being investigated. In many cases, other identifying details such as names, dates, addresses, court information, or related case details may still help trace the relevant account or entitlement.
-
Some claims are subject to deadlines, and certain funds may no longer be claimable after a long period of time. Because time limits can apply, it is important to act promptly once a possible entitlement is identified.
-
If your claim is approved, the funds are released to the rightful claimant in accordance with the relevant process. Where we have acted for you under a no win, no fee agreement, our agreed fee is applied in line with the signed terms.
-
The payment method depends on the body holding the funds and the type of claim. In most cases, payment is made by bank transfer or another approved method once the claim has been verified and processed.
-
Yes. We handle all enquiries in confidence and process personal information in line with our privacy and data protection obligations.
-
No legitimate firm can guarantee recovery in every case. We investigate each matter carefully and only proceed where there appears to be a valid basis for a claim.
-
Where a potential entitlement has been identified through our own investigation, an agreement helps protect the work already carried out and clearly sets out how we act for you on a no win, no fee basis.
-
No. Where we are instructed to act for you, we help manage the process, explain what is needed, and assist with the paperwork required to move the claim forward.
-
We assist with a range of property-linked and unclaimed funds matters, including surplus property proceeds, unclaimed court money, solicitors’ client account balances, and other related entitlements.
