Understanding unclaimed property

Lost contact.
Not lost ownership.

When a business or financial institution loses contact with an owner for a legally specified period, certain money or assets are transferred to the state for safekeeping.

These assets may still belong to you, your business, or an estate. A claim establishes who is entitled to receive them.

Bank accounts

Forgotten checking, savings, and certificates of deposit.

Checks & refunds

Uncashed paychecks, customer refunds, and overpayments.

The process

From a possible match
to a properly supported claim.

I organize the paperwork, track document requests, and keep you informed throughout the administrative claim process.

  1. 01

    Review the property

    I review the available records and your connection to the reported owner to identify a potential claim.

  2. 02

    Gather the evidence

    I help organize the records requested by the holding agency to document ownership or existing authority to claim.

  3. 03

    Prepare & follow up

    I help assemble claim paperwork, track its progress, and coordinate responses to the agency’s document requests.

  4. 04

    Complete the recovery

    Pennsylvania Treasury reviews the claim and pays the approved claimant directly. Any fee owed to me is paid separately under your written agreement.

Services begin only after a separate written agreement identifies the property, scope, fee, and payment terms. An inquiry creates no fee obligation or authority to file a claim. Recovery and timing are not guaranteed.

The value of professional guidance

Some claims need
a closer look.

Old addresses, a deceased owner, or a change in business ownership can leave gaps in the paper trail. I help locate and organize existing records for the agency’s review. Questions about legal ownership, inheritance rights, or authority to claim require separate legal counsel.

  • Organization of existing ownership and supporting records
  • Help responding to the agency’s document checklist
  • Personal communication throughout the process

W. Keith Williams III, Esq.

Will Keith Williams III · Sole proprietor · Admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania

Keith provides this administrative finder service under his full legal name, Will Keith Williams III, separately from his law practice. Through this business, he helps customers locate potential unclaimed property, organize documents, and follow up on administrative claims.

A separate, nonlegal role

The finder engagement does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Hiring Will Keith Williams III does not create an attorney-client relationship or provide its protections, including attorney-client privilege. Keith’s attorney credential does not change the scope of the finder service. Communications in this nonlegal engagement are not offered as privileged attorney-client communications. These disclosures do not waive rights or duties imposed by law.

If your matter requires legal advice, resolution of disputed rights, or court proceedings, you will need to obtain separate legal counsel. Those services are outside the finder engagement.

No. You may submit a claim directly to Pennsylvania Treasury for free. My optional finder service provides administrative help locating property, organizing records, and assembling claim paperwork. It does not provide legal services.
