Who We Help
Heirs and Estates
When property is reported in the name of a deceased relative, an estate, or a trust, recovering it can involve additional documentation. We help heirs and estate representatives navigate the process.
What Heir and Estate Claims May Involve
Death Certificates
Official death certificates may be required to establish that the property owner is deceased.
Probate Documents
Court documents such as letters testamentary or letters of administration may be needed.
Trust Documents
If the property was held in a trust, the trust agreement and trustee identification may be required.
Small-Estate Procedures
Some jurisdictions offer simplified processes for estates below a certain value threshold.
Proof of Relationship
Documentation establishing the claimant's relationship to the deceased owner.
Multiple Heirs
When multiple heirs are involved, coordination of claims and signatures may be required.
Executor Authority
Documents showing the executor's legal authority to act on behalf of the estate.
Administrator Authority
When there is no will, court-appointed administrator documentation may be needed.
Trustee Authority
Documentation establishing the trustee's authority over trust assets.
Assignments or Disclaimers
Legal documents transferring or declining an interest in the property.
Historical Address Records
Proof of the deceased's former address may be needed to verify the record.
Important Note
Requirements vary according to the property and the claimant's circumstances. Recover My Property does not provide legal or tax advice and may recommend consulting an attorney, accountant, or tax professional when appropriate.
