Since
1992 Money Finders has liaised with government departments, companies and
solicitors in Australia and overseas to identify correct persons, or executors
and beneficiaries who have lost or forgotten money.
Money
Finders is paid to locate, identify correct persons or company's (like a banks
100 point check) and pay them
the funds back.

DO NOT PAY US ANY MONEY UPFRONT".
We
are only paid on successful claims
- that is by paying you!
Money
Finders has also worked with Public Trustees in WA, NSW, QLD, TAS, SA, New Zealand
and State Trustees in Victoria returning money to executors and beneficiaries.
Unclaimed
money is recovered from UK, Scotland, USA, Europe and Australia
etc - this comes from old unclaimed money left in wills, bank accounts, old
dividends and share takeovers, tatts lotto, council, gas, electricity rebates
etc or land
not known to be owned then tracing the rightful owners
or beneficiaries.
The oldest
unclaimed recovered money we located dates back
to a deceased estate who died in 1895
- this money now belonging to four generations

*********************************************************************************
Once you have established and
provided proof that this unclaimed money belongs to you, Money
Finders can tell you the source - this is due to privacy
regulations, as the unclaimed money can only be divulged to the correct
person. No money up front - we
only get a fee from SUCCESSFUL completed cases only, OR some
estates fees are pre allocated. Money Finders - since starting in 1992, has returned
millions of dollars to people in Australia and Overseas. Expenses and
some fees are allocated prior - subject to where the
unclaimed money is, what we have to do to find the beneficiaries - who else we have to
pay to help retrieve the funds - (like genealogists, solicitors etc) and the
amount of work required to retrieve the funds from the various companies,
government bodies or trusts. These expenses can range from one percent
up to the highest tax bracket. To
