Our Work
Every matter begins the same way—not with paperwork, but with research.
Before a claim is prepared, our researchers work to establish ownership through historical records, probate files, governmental databases, corporate documents, archived records, and public filings.
Only after ownership can be reasonably verified does the recovery process begin.
Our Practice
Fletcher examines the records behind ownership before preparing a claim.
We reconstruct the history of financial assets to determine who is legally entitled to recover them.
The research may involve changes in ownership, corporate reorganizations, mergers, name changes, address history, or historical account records.
When an owner has passed away, recovery often depends on understanding the estate.
We research probate proceedings, wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and family relationships to identify the individuals legally entitled to receive property.
Many recoveries require reconstructing a family tree.
Using census records, vital records, obituaries, cemetery records, court filings, and other archival sources, we establish lines of inheritance when necessary.
Every institution has different documentation requirements.
Our work may include probate records, court filings, certified vital records, estate documents, affidavits, identity documentation, and ownership evidence.
From Record to Resolution
Each matter follows a disciplined progression from initial identification through final resolution.
Potential property interests are identified through public records and institutional reporting.
Ownership history is researched through historical, governmental, and institutional records.
Supporting documentation is gathered to confirm legal entitlement.
Claim documentation is assembled according to the requirements of the institution holding the property.
Once submitted, the claim is monitored through review, approval, and completion.
Evidence leaves a record.Our work is finding it.
Sources and Evidence
Ownership conclusions are developed through records that can be reviewed, documented, and explained.
Our Standard
Our work is intentionally methodical. Every conclusion should be supported by documentation. Every ownership determination should be capable of being explained.
Every claim is prepared with the expectation that the supporting evidence may be reviewed by an agency, financial institution, court, or other responsible party.
That philosophy has guided Fletcher since 2008.
