*********************************************************************************
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
