What are “Lost” Assets?

The term “lost assets” describes those which cannot be found in the financial records of an individual or organization. When people relocate, change employment, or open up an account for someone else, they may lose or forget their assets, for example. In the US alone there are billions of dollars of lost assets also known as lost Assets

Similarly, when there is a death and there is no documentation of the investment made in one’s belongings, assets may potentially be “lost”. Although ownership of these assets cannot be contested, steps must be taken to guarantee the records administrator has the most recent information.  Probate courts and lost Assets could hold these assets. 

Lauth Investigations and their team strive to  locate the rightful owner of the asset and return to the owner and heirs by conducting complex Genealogy research and connecting owners of the asset.

The Role of Genealogy In Recovering Lost Assets

Sifting through family ancestry to confirm legitimate heirs and beneficiaries is paramount in the recovery of lost assets. Genealogical research — specifically — aids in identifying legitimate descendants who are entitled to receive unclaimed assets due to ambiguous ownership or missing records. 

Expert genealogists make connections between current and former family members through official documents such as birth and death certificates, and via historical data. In being reunited with lost money, families are often rewarded a sense of closure. This process guarantees that unclaimed estates, financial assets, and/or property are returned to their rightful owners, which can sometimes span generations.

Advantages of Partnering with a Private Investigation Firm To Recover Lost Assets

It is common for the assets of a deceased individual to go unrecognized. Heirs may not even realize there is a potential inheritance awaiting recovery. Typically required by trust and estate officials or attorneys, searches for heirs can be intricate. Potential heirs must present necessary legal documentation to verify and establish their identity and relationship to a living or deceased family member. Heir searches may also be conducted for guardians, executors, private fiduciaries, conservators, and trustees. Heir searches can take as little as a day or can become quite complicated, requiring extensive research through the Internet, courthouses, libraries, census records, and documentation for births, adoptions, deaths, marriages, or divorces. Investigators function not only as researchers but also as genealogists.
