Frequently Asked Questions
What does your company do?
The team at CKC Funds Recovery specializes in auditing government agencies and public records in several states to locate funds related to property loss or sale. Since 2009, we’ve helped many individuals, families, and heirs recover money that rightfully belongs to them.
Where does this money come from?
When a property is sold at auction, it is possible the sale price will exceed what is owed to creditors and lien holders. That excess portion is designated for the property holder or their heir, except in cases where state regulations dictate that the money go directly to the state.
Even in the case where the property holder or heir is entitled to the funds, there are strict deadlines for the claimant to recover the funds. If the claimant does not file for the funds by the proper date (which varies by state), then the funds go back to the state in a process known as “eschcheatment”, and the claimant loses the funds.
How does CKC get paid?
There are no out-of-pocket or upfront costs when you work with CKC Funds Recovery. We handle all of the recovery costs and fees, including legal fees, throughout the process.
If we successfully reclaim your funds, CKC’s fees are paid with a portion of the funds, though you will receive the lion’s share of the money.
Do I need to use your company to recover these funds?
No, you’re perfectly entitled to pursue these funds on your own.
However, if we’re contacting you, the government in your region is not posting this information in a convenient fashion, and it’s going to cost you resources (most notably your time) to recover the funds.
CKC Funds Recovery has been working this process since 2009, and our expertise allows us to navigate the claims process effectively. There are a variety of obstacles that can pop up during the claims process, but we’ve seen them before, and are well equipped to overcome these challenges.
“First thought this was a scam, but after talking to the team at CKC I was reassured - though still somewhat wary. As the process progressed I became very comfortable and secure. The end result was “Just Great” found money (much needed) and all I had to do was sign and agreement and let CKC do all the work and deal with the frustration. They earned every penny of their reasonable percentage.”

Where is my claim being held and how much is it?
Since we don’t charge an upfront fee, it is our policy to wait for an agreement to be signed before we disclose the location of the funds. Once our contingency fee agreement is signed, we will disclose the location of the funds, file the claim and keep you notified throughout the whole process.
How long will it take to recover my funds?
Each government agency has different procedures and timelines. Depending on the agency and the type of claim, it can take as little as 90 - 120 days from the filing date to receive the funds . At the moment the process is experiencing some delays due to Covid 19.
