Global Discoveries

Over the course of 16 years, Global Discoveries, Ltd., of Modesto, California, has quickly risen to become a respected source for the location and recovery of unclaimed assets across the world. The staff at Global Discoveries, consisting of more than 20 professional asset recovery specialists and administrative assistants, carries more than 100 combined years' worth of experience in the field. Global Discoveries staff members are supported by being fully bonded and insured, and the company maintains an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. Using the latest technology and resources to retrieve information, Global Discoveries is proud of its track record for gaining results, with a 95 percent success rate and recovery of over $80 million in unclaimed assets since 2000.

Since its establishment, Global Discoveries has continued to build on its state-of-the-art proprietary information system. Custodians of unclaimed property may hide information about assets until claiming rights expire; since regulations do not require the publication of such information, asset custodians are not required to locate the entitled owners. Among the sources Global Discoveries utilizes are records of tax refunds and overpayments, royalties, pension payments, surplus proceeds from governmental auctions, and inheritance or insurance payouts. Other unclaimed assets Global Discoveries seeks out include forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, and securities. 

Global Discoveries staff members make good use of their skills to find concealed assets and track down the private parties, heirs, or organizations that possess the rights to claim them. Once Global Discoveries contacts the parties involved, the claims process begins, sometimes made complicated by asset custodians reluctant to release property they could possibly absorb after a certain period of time. Global Discoveries works exhaustively to determine with as much certainty as possible who holds the rights to these assets, and then guides those individuals through the complex claims process. Furthermore, clients only have to pay Global Discoveries a percentage-based contingency fee after the company recovers the assets; clients owe nothing in the event of a failed recovery.
