FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
BANKS & STATES, Research and Recovery:
While every case and each genealogy is different, many of the questions initially asked by our heirs are very similar.
Why am I being contacted by BANKS & STATES?
We have learned about an estate or assets that have either missing or unknown beneficiaries or heirs. We work on matters from all over the world and obtain our cases in many various ways.
How did you find me?
We search genealogy, private investigate and research history. We use all types of research methods, records, and resources to determine who you are and your potential involvement in the decedent’s estate.
Is this some type of scam?
This is sadly a very common question in this day and age but BANKS & STATES, Research and Recovery looks to successfully and legally engaged in research to locate missing or unknown heirs. We protect your identity and your confidentiality is as important to our reputation as it is to you.
How much will this cost me?
The outcome of our arrangement will only result to your financial advantage without any out-of-pocket expenses to you.
When am I getting my inheritance?
We do not control the timing of the process. We do not get paid for our service to you until you receive your inheritance. As such, our primary goal is to do the best job possible, as quickly as possible.
How much money am I going to get?
Every state and foreign country has a provision outlining descent and distribution. These laws vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Until the heirship is decided, it is virtually impossible to accurately calculate your exact fractional interest.
What about taxes, estate debt, and a list of all of the assets?
Many of these questions cannot be adequately answered at this point in the process. Any taxes and debts owed by the estate are paid before any inheritance is distributed to the heirs. The decedent’s debts are not the responsibility of the heirs. If an estate were to become insolvent, or without value, the heirs do not inherit. You are not responsible for any costs to BANKS & STATES, Research and Recovery.
What if I choose to do nothing?
It is possible that without a successful claim, your potential share could be simply ignored by the estate or, in some cases, turned over to the local authorities.
What should I do now?
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact our associate who initially contacted you. You can reach us at 855.812.7233 or email us at admin@BANKSandSTATES.com.
