The Importance of Asset Recovery
The Importance of Asset Recovery
Do you move a lot? Have a relative who recently passed away? Or did you quit your last job in less than perfect circumstances and forget to collect a last wage, perhaps? These are all common enough scenarios, after all, even the most budget conscious amongst us can be forgiven for losing track of an asset or two, in hectic circumstances.
But did you know that these forgotten sums don’t just disappear? Recovering those sums is one of the main services firms like Advanced Recovery Consultants look to provide.
What Happens to “Lost” Assets?
While the laws that apply vary, generally banks and companies are legally obliged to relinquish any abandoned property. Assets are generally considered abandoned if the rightful owner of the funds or property makes no contact with the holder of the sum for several years.
However, vast majorities of assets go unclaimed and are liquidated s. By relaxing the period of time that qualifies an asset as dormant from around seven years to only three.
