MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS
 


Is my identity really kept anonymous?
Yes. NCARP (National Contracted Asset Recovery Program) never collects personal information, tracks your IP address, or records your call. Your identity is fully protected.
 

How do I submit a tip?
You can submit a tip via our secure online form, or by phone, whichever method you prefer.
 
What Is Asset Recovery?
Asset recovery is the process of locating, verifying, and reinstating ownership of funds or property that rightfully belong to an individual or entity but have become lost, seized, frozen, or abandoned.

These assets may include:
  • Dormant financial accounts
  • Seized property from fraud investigations
  • International inheritances
  • Unclaimed securities
  • Government-held escheated funds
  • Real estate held in limbo
  • Assets from financial or investment disputes

NCARP specializes in navigating the complex legal and administrative channels required to restore those assets to their lawful owners.

 


 
What is Administration of Unclaimed Assets

Many assets become unclaimed not because they were abandoned—but because the owner was never located, notified, or properly recorded.

NCARP assists by:
 
  • Investigating where the asset originated
  • Identifying rightful beneficiaries
  • Handling all administrative communication
  • Completing claim filings
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant legal requirements
  • Coordinating with domestic and international institutions

We streamline the process with accuracy, transparency, and complete documentation.


 

Do I have to testify in court if I submit a tip?
No. Since your tip is submitted anonymously, there is no requirement—or way—for you to appear or be identified in court.
 
Guidance for Compliance Resources
Navigating compliance requirements can be overwhelming, especially with cross-border claims, tax obligations, and agency-specific regulations.
NCARP provides comprehensive compliance guidance that includes:
 
  • Understanding your claim rights
  • Navigating U.S. and international recovery laws
  • Required tax documentation (including non-U.S. clients)
  • Fraud prevention protocols
  • Timelines for asset reassignment
  • Required identification and verification procedures

We ensure you meet every requirement to obtain your assets legally and without delays.
How We Investigate Lost & Unclaimed Assets
NCARP conducts multi-layered investigations using proprietary research methods, agency databases, cross-jurisdictional records, and archived institutional data.

Our investigative process includes:
  • Asset discovery and origin tracing
  • Verification of ownership
  • Confirmation of legal status
  • Chain-of-custody review
  • Fraud screening
  • Documentation consolidation
  • Preparation for claim initiation

This ensures that every discovered asset is legitimate, verifiable, and recoverable.
Fraud & Scam Victim Reporting
If you believe you were defrauded through:
 
  • Investment scams
  • Sweepstakes scams
  • Romance scams
  • Identity theft
  • Cryptocurrency scams
  • Credit card or banking fraud
  • Phone or email scams

NCARP provides immediate guidance. We help you understand what to do next, what documentation to gather, and how to determine whether any seized or frozen assets may be recoverable.
How to Get Started With NCARP (4-Step Process)
You receive an authorized NCARP notification letter via email. We also contact you directly and provide the opportunity to verify our identity through our website before speaking with us—ensuring full transparency from the start.
 

Step 2 — Disclosure of Asset Information

We explain what asset has been identified, how it originated, how it became unclaimed or seized, and why NCARP is the agency responsible for assisting with your claim.
 

Step 3 — Proposal, Contract, & Fee Disclosure

We issue a full disclosure packet containing:
  • Our role
  • Intent
  • Contractual terms
  • Fee structure
  • Timelines
  • Agency coordination steps
  • Next expected milestones

Non-U.S. clients receive all required tax forms or filing guidance.
 

Step 4 — Claim Filing & Asset Reassignment

We prepare all documents, file your claim, coordinate with agencies, and secure the reassignment of your asset—whether it’s real estate, securities, seized funds, or inherited property.
Why Choose NCARP
Clients choose NCARP because we bring:
 
  • Expertise in complex asset cases
  • Global investigative capability
  • Transparent contracts and fees
  • Support for non-U.S. citizens
  • Fraud screening and protective protocols
  • Secure document handling
  • A track record of ethical recovery practices

Our priority is to ensure that assets rightfully belonging to you are located, validated, and transferred legally and efficiently.
Do I have to pay any fees upfront before my asset is released?
Yes. NCARP requires the applicable professional service fee to be paid prior to the release of your recovered asset.

This requirement exists because NCARP is not a cold-calling agency and does not solicit individuals at random. Your file was forwarded to us directly through an authorized referral channel after the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) concluded its review and confirmed that your case meets the criteria for contracted recovery.

Once a file reaches NCARP, it means: The asset has already been verified as legitimate. A recovery path has been established and approved for processing. You have been identified as the rightful beneficiary or claimant. A formal handoff from the administrative body has occurred, authorizing NCARP to manage the recovery and reassignment process under its contracted authority.

Because your case arrives at NCARP only after a final determination has been made by the originating agency, our service fee is due at the beginning of the claimant-support process. This ensures that:
 
  • All filings, validations, and legal documentation can be initiated without delay.
  • NCARP can formally represent you with the holding institution or governmental body.
  • Compliance procedures, identity verification, and claimant-authorization filings are completed correctly.
  • Your reassignment process proceeds along the approved legal pathway.

Our fee structure, including the amount owed and all terms governing payment, will be clearly disclosed to you in writing before any documents are signed.

No hidden charges, no unapproved billing, and no additional fees outside the agreed scope.
