Money that's yours, back where it belongs.
Greyline Claims helps individuals, families and businesses recover unclaimed money held by state unclaimed property programs. We find it, handle the paperwork, and follow the claim through to payment.
- No upfront fees
- Paid only if you're paid
- Fees capped by state law
You can always claim it yourself, for free.
State unclaimed property programs return money to owners at no cost. Greyline Claims is a private company. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with any state. You'd hire us for the legwork: tracking down records, preparing documents and managing the claim until it's paid.
Four steps, and we handle the paperwork.
Most people never learn that money is waiting for them. When they do, the forms and proof requirements can be confusing. That's the part we take off your plate.
We find it
We research state unclaimed property records and identify money that belongs to you, your family or your business.
We tell you everything
You'll see the amount, where it's held, and how to claim it on your own. No surprises and nothing hidden.
You choose
If you'd like our help, you sign a simple written agreement. If not, there's no cost and no obligation.
We file & follow up
We prepare and submit the claim, answer the state's questions, and stay on it until the payment is issued.
Claims that take more than a quick form.
Some claims are simple. Many aren't. We focus on the ones where documentation, timing and follow-up make the difference.
Individuals
Forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, refunds, deposits and credit balances, especially after a move or a name change.
Families & heirs
Money left by a loved one who has passed. We help organize the documents states require to show who is entitled to it.
Businesses
Vendor payments, refunds, credit balances and deposits reported under your company's name, including former names and locations.
Stocks, funds & trusts
Shares, dividends, mutual fund balances and trust-owned accounts that need extra verification to release.
Simple, capped, and only when you're paid.
Our fee is a percentage of what you recover, it's agreed in writing before any work begins, and it never goes above the limit your state allows.

of the amount recovered, as limited by California Code of Civil Procedure §1582, and payable only after the state pays your claim.

Straight answers.
Is this a scam?
It's a fair question. We never ask for money upfront, we tell you where the money is so you can verify it yourself, and we only get paid after the state pays you. If anyone asks you for a fee before you're paid, walk away.
Why would I use you instead of claiming it myself?
For a simple claim, you may not need us, and we'll tell you so. People hire us when the claim needs more: an inheritance, a business account, old addresses that are hard to prove, multiple owners, or simply no time to chase paperwork and follow-ups.
How much do you charge?
A percentage of what's recovered, agreed in writing up front and never more than your state allows. For California claims that's a maximum of 10%. There are no upfront or hidden fees.
Are you affiliated with the state?
No. Greyline Claims is a private company. State unclaimed property programs are run by state treasurers and controllers, and they return money to owners for free.
What information will you need from me?
Usually a government-issued photo ID and proof that you're the owner, such as proof of a past address. For an inheritance or a business, the state may require additional documents. We'll tell you exactly what's needed for your claim and nothing more.
How long does it take?
It depends on the state and the type of property. Simple claims can be paid within weeks. Inheritances, securities and business claims can take several months. We track the claim and keep you updated.
Questions about a letter, or about money you think you're owed?
Send us a note. We'll reply within one business day. There's no cost and no obligation.
