SAH Discoveries is a professional lost and unclaimed asset location and recovery firm specializing in connecting these assets with their rightful owners.
Asset Location & Recovery
We uncover concealed assets held by government entities and track down the rightful owners, heirs, private parties, and organizations who have a right to claim these assets.
When government entities holding unclaimed assets have tried (if that’s what you accept them calling it) and failed to reach the rightful owners, the assets are set aside for a time period by law. If the assets aren’t properly claimed within the legal timeframe, the government happily keeps it.
As you can imagine, the government entity is reluctant to release assets that they might otherwise keep if a certain time period expires. If they even manage to make the rightful owner aware of their right to these assets, the government entities make claiming these assets by the rightful owners confusing, time-consuming, and unforgiving in the claims process.
We never like seeing money and other assets that belong to individuals legally default to the government because the individuals didn’t know the money existed or how to get it.
Where do these assets originate?
Neither federal nor state law requires government entities holding assets to make these claimable assets known to the general public. Nor is there a requirement for these government entities to make more than a cursory, basic attempt to locate and contact the rightful owners.
We specialize in uncovering and recovering assets held by government agencies in connection with real property. We find assets from the following sources:
Income tax refunds or overpayments;
Property tax refunds or overpayments; and
Surplus proceeds from an auction of real property.
Did we reach out to you?
Fantastic! Thanks for partaking in your own investigation and checking us out.
We understand your surprise and curiosity since you’ve received our letter – it’s totally unexpected. If we’ve reached out and spent the time trying to get in touch with you, we are positive that you or someone you know is owed money from the government and that we can help you get it.
We’ve helped individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations recover funds they didn’t know existed.
The process of locating and claiming assets is challenging and time consuming and has taken years for us to perfect. Many people who have located assets on their own give up in frustration because the claims process is often convoluted and confusing.
Why should you partner with us?
There is a small timeframe limiting your ability to claim these monies and other assets from the government before they permanently become the government’s property.
We handle the entire process. We’re a small team and you’ll know us by name (and vice-versa). We know the process and have experience in each phase of the asset recovery process from locating assets, finding the rightful owners, processing the claims, tracking each one to completion, and to finalizing payment. We’ve developed solid relationships with the asset holders, so we can expedite your claim and help you recover assets faster, while avoiding unnecessary expenses and possible mistakes.
We work solely on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only collect a percentage of the monies recovered. If the monies are not recovered, we don’t collect anything from anyone. There are no hidden fees, upfront costs, nor out-of-pocket expenses. We advance all costs necessary to process and file each claim. Therefore, we take all the risk and you can rest assured we are working in your best interest.
Let’s get started.
If we’ve reached out to you and you’re now here, it sounds like we have some good things to further discuss. We’re available at your convenience and at your preferred method of contact.
Most of these recoveries are time sensitive, so let’s connect and get the ball moving.

What does the recovery process entail?
1. Locate assets.
We locate dormant assets and unclaimed funds from a multitude of government sources.
Our team reviews thousands of private and public documents to determine which parties, businesses, individuals, and estates have rights to the assets or funds.
2. Identify and locate owners.
We engage research professionals, skip tracers and private investigators who use every tool available to locate the owners. We also utilize several subscription databases and public record databases.
This is the most time-consuming and costly part of the recovery process and can take from one month to several years.
3. Contact owners.
We attempt to contact the party of interest via a letter (a/k/a “snail mail”). Once an owner interested in claiming the funds responds, we discuss the claim further and determine the most effective way of claiming the funds.
4. Engage our services.
Once a party of interest wishes to become a client of SAH Discoveries, we prepare a simple contingency fee agreement outlining the terms of our representation.
5. Document preparation.
Our team prepares all documents, pleadings, declarations and affidavits required to document the rights to the assets or funds.
We’ll then arrange to have the documents delivered directly to you to be executed and returned to our firm.
6. Claim submission.
Once the documents are returned to us, we then assemble the claims package. The package goes through two additional quality control levels before it is filed with the holder of the assets or funds.
A confirmation letter will be sent to you informing of when the claim was submitted and approximately when to expect payment.
7. Communication and follow up.
We receive and answer all correspondences and questions from the asset holders and ensure that all timelines are met. In the rare event that outside legal assistance is required to receive payment, we handle all aspects of the process and advance all expenses.
8. Payment of claim.
We will notify you when the asset holder approves your claim. Once the funds are received, we will forward you your check along with a final accounting statement.
