Dunbar prides itself on providing the highest level of service to our clients and the owners/beneficiaries of their lost accounts. Restoring lines of communication with inactive account owners is an art we have spent decades perfecting. Utilizing our bespoke communication strategies and drawing from our vast unclaimed property experience, Dunbar’s seasoned team will exponentially increase the success rate of re-activating accounts that might otherwise fall under state control through a common law doctrine known as escheat. Dunbar’s advanced search techniques satisfy SEC 17.Ad-17 regulations to keep our clients in compliance with the necessary time-sensitive searches to avoid audits and potential fines. As with individual account owners, companies themselves are at risk of having unclaimed funds escheated to the states. Those companies at risk include any that have engaged in mergers or acquisitions, name or address changes, or considerable inter-business dealings. Dunbar helps businesses recuperate these assets through a service known a corporate asset recovery.
