About Veritas Equity Recovery
An Ohio unclaimed property recovery firm built on a simple principle: you should never have to pay to get back what's already yours.
Returning Dormant Assets to Their Rightful Owners
Every year, Ohio residents and their estates leave millions of dollars unclaimed — not because they don't want the money, but because they don't know it exists. Former employers, banks, insurance companies, and utility providers are required by law to transfer unclaimed funds to the state, but the state's ability to locate rightful owners is limited.
Veritas Equity Recovery was founded to bridge that gap. We do the investigative work that most people don't have the time, resources, or knowledge to do themselves — then guide claimants through a process that can be bureaucratic and frustrating without the right support.
Our model is straightforward: we only earn a fee when you get paid. That alignment of interests means we're motivated to move quickly, work thoroughly, and deliver results.
What "Veritas" Means to Us
Veritas is Latin for truth. It reflects how we approach every client relationship — with complete transparency about what we find, what we can recover, what our fee will be, and what the process involves.
There are no hidden charges, no vague timelines, no inflated promises. We tell you exactly what we found, show you the documentation, and let you decide whether to proceed — with no pressure.
That standard of honesty is non-negotiable. It's the foundation of everything we do.
Our Principles
You pay nothing unless we recover.
We don't charge consultation fees, search fees, or retainers. If we don't find anything — or if we find something but you choose not to proceed — you owe us nothing. Our compensation comes entirely from a percentage of what we successfully recover on your behalf.
We operate fully within Ohio law.
Ohio regulates unclaimed property finders under Ohio Revised Code. We comply with all applicable statutes — including written contract requirements, waiting period rules, and fee caps — and we stay current with changes in state law. We are not a law firm, but we work within a clearly defined legal framework.
No surprises, ever.
Before we do anything on your behalf, you have a signed agreement that specifies exactly what we're pursuing, what our fee is, and what you can expect. We don't begin work until you've reviewed and agreed to those terms in writing.
We search beyond the obvious.
The Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds is a starting point, not the whole picture. We also search insurance industry databases, SEC records, federal agency databases, and additional third-party sources to ensure we're identifying every dollar owed to you.
We handle the bureaucracy so you don't have to.
Recovering unclaimed funds — especially estate funds or insurance proceeds — often involves a significant amount of paperwork, documentation gathering, notarization, and agency follow-up. We manage all of that on your behalf, keeping you informed without burdening you with the details.
Why Ohio?
Ohio consistently ranks among the top states in the country for unclaimed property volume. The Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds currently holds over $4 billion in assets from more than 14 million individual accounts. A significant portion of that amount has been waiting years — sometimes decades — for a rightful owner to claim it.
By focusing exclusively on Ohio, we've developed deep familiarity with the state's claim processes, agency timelines, documentation requirements, and regulatory framework. That specialization makes us more effective than a generalist national firm.
How Ohio Law Governs Our Work
Ohio Revised Code governs unclaimed property finder agreements in the state. Key provisions include:
Written finder agreements are required before any services are rendered.
Finder fees for state-held unclaimed property are capped by statute.
Finders may not contact owners during the initial holding period immediately after funds are reported.
All terms — including fees — must be disclosed in writing before work begins.
