Civil Law Services: Recover What’s Rightfully Yours


Unclaimed property often goes unnoticed by individuals and businesses, leaving cash, financial assets, and other valuable items in the custody of the state. At Danielle M. Simmons PA, I specialize in helping clients recover unclaimed property in Florida and, in select cases, other states. Whether the property in question is financial or tangible, my goal is to simplify the recovery process and ensure that what is rightfully yours is returned promptly and efficiently.

Understanding Unclaimed Property

Unclaimed property includes a wide range of financial and tangible assets that have been abandoned or forgotten by their rightful owners. This may include:


  • Uncashed checks, refunds, or rebates.
  • Dormant bank accounts or safe deposit box contents.
  • Insurance benefits or payouts.
  • Stocks, bonds, and other financial investments.


In Florida, unclaimed property is surrendered to the state if the owner cannot be located within a specified period. While the state holds these assets indefinitely, the process of reclaiming them can be complex, requiring thorough documentation and adherence to legal procedures.


Florida’s Unclaimed Property Recovery Process

Recovering unclaimed property in Florida involves multiple steps, from verifying ownership to navigating state claim requirements. As your legal advocate, I provide end-to-end assistance throughout this process, ensuring your claim is submitted accurately and efficiently.


The first step in recovering unclaimed property is identifying assets held by the state. I perform detailed research to locate unclaimed property linked to you or your business. Once identified, I assist in compiling the necessary documentation to verify your ownership. This may include proof of identity, tax records, or other supporting documents, depending on the nature of the property.


After submitting your claim, I monitor its progress and address any questions or challenges that arise during the review process. My focus is on ensuring that the claim is resolved quickly, allowing you to reclaim your assets with minimal hassle.


Out-of-State Unclaimed Property Recovery

While Florida is my primary jurisdiction, I also assist clients with unclaimed property recovery in other states, depending on the nature of the claim and the state’s requirements. Each state has its own set of laws and procedures for unclaimed property, and I tailor my approach to meet these specific demands.


For out-of-state claims, I work closely with clients to gather the required documentation and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations. My goal is to provide clear guidance and effective solutions, no matter where the unclaimed property is located.
