California holds over $14 billion in unclaimed property. Much of it belongs to operating businesses that simply lost track. We help identify and recover what's rightfully yours.
Kevin Butcher — Principal, Meridian Claims Group
Meridian Claims Group was founded on a simple observation: billions of dollars in business funds sit dormant with the State of California while owners remain unaware. Forgotten vendor refunds, uncashed checks, dormant accounts, insurance proceeds — all held by the state until someone claims them.
We do the work most businesses don't have time for. We identify your unclaimed property, prepare the documentation, and handle the entire claims process with the State Controller's Office on your behalf.
Our approach is straightforward. No upfront fees. No pressure. We only earn a fee — a maximum of 10% as set by California law — when funds are successfully recovered and deposited in your account.
We've simplified what is otherwise a complex, paperwork-heavy process. Here's exactly what to expect when working with us.
We search the State Controller's database for unclaimed property held under your business name and provide you with a detailed report including Property IDs.
You can independently verify every claim on the official California State Controller's website using the Property IDs we provide. Complete transparency.
If you'd like our help, you sign a simple investigator agreement at a 10% fee and we handle all documentation, notarization, and filing with the State Controller's Office on your behalf.
The State Controller's Office processes the claim and sends your funds directly to you and our fee directly to us — nothing passes through either party's hands.
Every property we identify is publicly searchable on the California State Controller's official unclaimed property database. We encourage you to verify any claim before working with us.
