🗝️ A Personal Note from Key

Hi, I’m Keegan “Key” Bennett, a local real estate agent and community advocate based right here in Kalamazoo. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that real estate isn’t just about buying or selling homes—it’s also about uncovering value that people didn’t know they had.

That’s why I’ve expanded my mission to help folks like you track down lost or unclaimed money. Whether it’s from an old security deposit, an uncashed check, or funds tied to a past property, I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it can be to recover money you didn’t even realize was missing.

If you’re not sure where to start or just want someone to walk you through the process, I’m here to help. I offer free consultations, guidance on where to look, and even assistance with filing claims when needed.

You don’t have to go it alone. Feel free to reach out directly, and together, let’s see if there’s money with your name on it.

The process of reclaiming lost money is generally straightforward but can vary depending on the type of asset and where it is held. Most states in the U.S., for example, have online databases where you can search for unclaimed property using your name and other identifying information. If a match is found, you will need to provide proof of identity and ownership before the funds can be released to you. The National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) offers a comprehensive resource through its website MissingMoney.com, which allows users to search multiple state databases simultaneously.

It's worth noting that there is no time limit on claiming most types of unclaimed property; the funds will remain available until the rightful owner steps forward. However, some types of assets may have specific deadlines for claiming them, so it's important to act promptly once you've identified potential unclaimed property.

In addition to state-held funds, there are other sources where lost money might be found. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), for example, holds onto tax refunds that were undeliverable due to incorrect addresses. Similarly, pension plans governed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) may have benefits owed to former employees who never claimed them.

If you're curious about whether you have lost money waiting for you, take some time to conduct a thorough search using available resources. Start with your state's unclaimed property office and expand your search to include federal agencies like the IRS and PBGC. It's also a good idea to check with any former employers or financial institutions where you may have had accounts in the past.

In conclusion, lost or unclaimed money represents a significant opportunity for individuals and businesses alike. By taking proactive steps to search for and claim these forgotten assets, you could potentially recover funds that rightfully belong to you. So why wait? Start your search today—you might just uncover a hidden treasure!

Please reach out if you need further assistance. This is your time to recover whats yours!
