The National Center for Abandoned Assets Recovery ("NCAAR") is a full-service professional audit, research, and recovery firm headquartered in Irvine, California specializing in the research, discovery, and recovery of abandoned, unclaimed, and/or lost assets belonging to private individual owners, rightful heirs or beneficiaries, and organizations of all sizes.

When you engage NCAAR in the claim and recovery process of your unclaimed property or abandoned assets, we will manage the entire process from start to finish, including the audit, research, and identification of unclaimed assets, all applicable due diligence, the representation of your interests to various governmental agencies, and the fulfillment of all governmental requirements to ensure the expeditious return of your assets.

It could only mean one thing: that the unclaimed assets will very likely be returned to you, if you are the rightful owner.  During the course of our research, we have identified you as the rightful owner of the unclaimed property or abandoned assets.  Because we are in the business of audit, research, and recovery of unclaimed funds, we have access to proprietary databases and  industry-specific tools not generally available to the public.  We have located your unclaimed property or abandoned assets when other companies or government agencies have not, and we await your partnership to process the claim.

Please be aware of a legal process called escheatment, in which certain types of unclaimed property or abandoned assets will be transferred to government ownership if not claimed within a specified time. In almost all cases, escheatment is permanent and irreversible.

We will never ask you for any type of upfront, advance, or out-of-pocket fees or expenses as we work only on a contingency basis, in which we would only get paid a percentage of the recovered assets.  If there's no recovery, then there will never be any fees, even for our services already rendered.  

You will get copies of all documents, including our retainer agreement, source(s) and amounts of the unclaimed property or abandoned assets, and any other documents pertaining to your claim(s).  The process will be as transparent and uncomplicated as possible because our goal is always aligned with yours: to enable the restoration and reunification of your long lost assets to the rightful owner, you.

We are licensed by the city of Irvine, organized and incorporated in the State of California, and operate only within the boundaries of the US.  We are subjected to all laws and regulations at the local, state, and federal levels of the United States of America.

We do not sell any type of products.  We are a professional full-service audit, research, and recovery firm specializing in unclaimed property or abandoned assets.  We will never ask you for any type of advance fee or out-of-pocket expenses as we work only on a contingency basis, in which we would only get paid a percentage of the recovered assets.  If there's no recovery, then there will never be any fees, even for our services already rendered.

We will never charge you any upfront or out-of-pocket fees for our audit, research, and recovery services.  We work only on a contingency basis, in which we will only be paid a percentage of the recovered unclaimed property or abandoned assets.  If we cannot recover the unclaimed property or abandoned assets for any reason, regardless of the cause, you will NEVER be liable for any costs.  Remember, no recovery = no fee.

We work only on contingency basis primary for your benefit and protection:

If the rightful owners of unclaimed property or abandoned assets cannot be located by the private companies holding those assets, the companies must turn those accounts over to the government agencies responsible for the administration of unclaimed property according to enacted legislation.  The government agencies will then assume the responsibility of those funds and ensure they are returned to the rightful owners.

Every State within the United States has unclaimed property or abandoned assets belonging to its citizens.  The State Treasurer and various government agencies currently hold nearly $33 Billion US in unclaimed property or abandoned assets.  The earned interest, pending the location of the rightful owners,  of the unclaimed property or abandoned assets are used for the benefit of the citizens of each State.

The statute of limitations for unclaimed property or abandoned assets varies according to the legislation or statutes enacted by each individual State and/or the specific type of unclaimed property or abandoned asset.  Some States will hold the unclaimed property or abandoned assets in perpetuity until the assets are reunited with their rightful owners or heirs, while other States will appropriate the unclaimed funds or abandoned assets via a legal process known as escheatment.  If the statute of limitation exists for unclaimed funds or abandoned assets, the property or assets will be converted into government ownership if not claimed by the rightful owner within a specified time.

Escheatment is a common law doctrine that allows the government (Federal, State, or Local) to take ownership of unclaimed property or abandoned assets if the rightful owner cannot be found or if the statute of limitations has expired.  Because of the escheatment incentive, the unclaimed property or abandoned assets custodians will often do the minimum required by law to locate the rightful owners.  Once the statute of limitations has expired, the government agencies can then appropriate the assets via the escheatment process.  Many times, the unclaimed funds account for a significant portion of the agencies' annual budget, so the governement agencies will not go above and beyond their required duties to return money that they can and will legally own ("escheated") in the very near future.

Certainly.  While the claim processes can be complex and the requirements of the individual unclaimed property or abandoned assets custodians are often specific and unique, you can definitely attempt to claim and seek the return of the assets.  Please visit our State Resources and/or Links pages to gain access to the publicly available government databases to begin your search and claim process.

In the event that you are uncomfortable dealing with the various government agencies or unclaimed assets custodians,  or if you can't locate the source of the unclaimed property or abandoned assets yourself, you can certainly engage NCAAR to manage the entire the research and claim process for you.

We have access to industry-specific tools and proprietary databases not generally available to the public.  Additionally, we work only on a contingency basis, in which we do not receive compensation if we can't recover the unclaimed property or abandoned assets for you. There is never any out-of-pocket expenses or fees for our services, so you can be assured that engaging NCAAR to recover your lost assets is a risk-free proposition.
