Listen, we get it. Receiving unexpected communication about a potential inheritance can be surprising — and even a little suspicious. If a member of the EstateCo team recently contacted you, you may be wondering:

Why me?
Is this legitimate?
What should I do next? 

Here are some important things to know about EstateCo: First, our mission is to help families uncover and claim assets that rightfully belong to them. We specialize in estate administration, working to locate legitimate heirs, manage complex inheritance matters, and help ensure valuable assets are claimed.

You should also know that at EstateCo, we understand that estate administration and abandoned property can feel overwhelming, especially when they come out of the blue. That’s why we’re here — to take the burden off your shoulders and provide clarity, transparency, and expert guidance as we navigate this journey together. Whether you’ve been identified as a potential heir or as someone who can help us locate rightful beneficiaries, our goal is to simplify the process and support families through every step.

Why EstateCo Reaches Out

If you’ve received a call, email, or letter from EstateCo, you might be wondering — why did we reach out to you? The answer is simple: if you’ve heard from our team, it’s because we believe you may have a connection to unclaimed property. Whether you’re a direct heir or someone who can help us connect the dots, our outreach is always driven by the goal of assisting families to claim what’s rightfully theirs.  

EstateCo has a team of genealogists who love piecing family trees together to help connect potential heirs with unclaimed assets and estates. Our genealogists are research experts; they search through various channels, such as public records, legal filings, and historical documents, to validate family connections and identify heirs. If we’ve contacted you, it’s because our research suggests that you may be connected to an estate with assets waiting to be claimed.

Even after identifying a rightful heir, locating them can be challenging. That’s where our licensed private investigators step in. Heirs can sometimes be tough to find due to lost connections, relocation, or family estrangement. Our team uses ethical and professional search methods to ensure heirs are found and informed — always with respect for privacy and confidentiality.

Not Everyone is an Heir 

It’s important to note: Not everyone EstateCo contacts is an heir. Sometimes, we reach out to family members, friends, or even distant relatives to help us locate the rightful heirs. If we’ve contacted you, it could mean you have key information that may help us connect with an heir who may not even know they have an inheritance waiting.

What Should You Do If EstateCo Contacts You?

If EstateCo has reached out to you, we believe you might have a connection to unclaimed property or assets. Taking the next steps is easy and could make all the difference in reclaiming what’s rightfully yours. Here’s how to move forward:

Don’t Ignore the Opportunity

Scams are everywhere — even when it comes to inheritance matters. As a result, it can be tempting to dismiss and ignore unexpected communication from someone talking about relatives or property you may not know anything about. But ignoring our outreach could mean missing out on assets that belong to you or your family. Our team works hard to ensure rightful heirs are connected with their inheritance, and your response is the first step in making that happen.

Gather Relevant Documents

The inheritance process requires a lot of documentation. The best way to streamline the process is to begin gathering any documents that may confirm your connection to the estate or asset. Birth certificates, family records, or other forms of identification that tie you to the deceased can be helpful. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — the EstateCo team is here to help guide you through verification, ensuring you have everything needed to move forward.
