Imagine receiving a letter, phone call, or email from someone you’ve never heard of, telling you you’re the heir to an unclaimed inheritance. No context. No familiar names. Just a claim that you may be the rightful owner of an unclaimed estate.

It sounds suspicious — and we understand why.

At EstateCo, we work hard to overcome that first reaction of skepticism, because we know just how often families miss out on what’s rightfully theirs due to disbelief or fear of being scammed. In a world full of spam calls and fraudulent emails, it’s reasonable to question anything that sounds too good to be true.

So let’s take you behind the scenes, into our process, our safeguards, and our people to explain how we earn trust when we reach out to someone who had no idea an inheritance was even possible.

We Don’t Guess — We Research

EstateCo doesn’t randomly contact people on a hunch. Before we reach out, our in-house team of professional genealogists and investigators has already done the hard work: building a family tree, tracing legal lines of descent, verifying records, and identifying who we believe to be rightful heirs.

Our outreach only happens after we’ve confirmed a strong connection to an estate. You’re not hearing from us because your name happens to match someone else’s. You’re hearing from us because we believe you may have a legitimate claim — and we can help you prove it.

We’re licensed private investigators and operate under strict state regulations. Our work is grounded in documentation, verification, and legal compliance.

We Understand Your Doubts

When a stranger tells you you’re entitled to an inheritance you didn’t expect, skepticism isn’t just reasonable — it’s smart.

We’ve heard every version of it:

“This feels like a scam.”
“How can this possibly be real?”
“I don’t remember this person at all.”

That’s why one of the first things we do is answer your questions clearly and directly. Our communications always include how we found you, what estate we’re referring to (or why the details are protected until you engage), and a detailed outline of how our process works. 

We also know that trust isn’t earned through words alone — it’s earned through proof. That’s why we provide validation at every step, with detailed explanations, family records, and legal documentation when appropriate. Our team includes Heir Advocates whose entire job is to walk with you through the process and ensure your comfort, clarity, and confidence.

You Don’t Pay Unless We Succeed

One of the biggest red flags in actual inheritance scams is the demand for money upfront—whether it’s for legal fees, processing charges, or “release forms.” At EstateCo, there are no out-of-pocket costs for our services. If we don’t succeed in recovering your inheritance, you don’t owe us a thing. When we do succeed, we are paid from the recovered amount — not from your bank account, and never in advance.

This model is one of the clearest ways we earn trust. It aligns our incentives with yours. We’re only successful when you are.

We Offer More Than Just Claims Support

EstateCo is not just a claims processor. We are a full-service estate resolution company. That means we don’t stop at helping you file paperwork—we dig deep into the issues that can prevent people from ever accessing their inheritance in the first place.

That includes:

• Resolving complex liens on estate properties
• Cleaning out homes and preparing them for sale
• Negotiating with creditors to maximize the value of an estate
• Handling probate filings and legal requirements
• Tracking down unknown or estranged relatives through genealogical research

Every case is different. Some heirs never knew the deceased. Others didn’t know a property existed. Many face legal or financial roadblocks that seem impossible to clear on their own. That’s why we assign a dedicated team to handle every detail for you.

Real People. Real Cases. Real Results.

We’ve helped countless families recover inheritances they never knew existed, whether it was a long-abandoned property, an overlooked financial account, or a share of an estate lost in legal limbo. From forgotten family homes to tangled ownership records, we uncover the value others miss—and work to return it to the people who deserve it.

When you hear from EstateCo, it’s a chance to reclaim a piece of your family’s legacy, even if no one ever told you it was yours. We don’t expect blind trust. That’s why we offer transparency, documentation, and proof—every step of the way.

Has EstateCo Contacted You?

If EstateCo has reached out to you, it’s not a coincidence. It’s because we’ve done the research, and we believe you or someone you know may be connected to an unclaimed estate. Our job is to help you access it, without confusion, risk, or guesswork.

You don’t have to navigate the process alone. Contact us today to speak with a Heir Advocate and learn about the next steps.
