ShellNewHandler VS HeirClaim

HeirClaim's answer:

HeirClaim primarily serves individual US consumers who suspect they may have unclaimed money waiting in a state treasury. This includes:

• People searching their own name for forgotten bank accounts, paychecks, dividends, or utility deposits
• Heirs and family members searching for unclaimed assets left by deceased relatives
• Estate executors and small-estate administrators handling probate paperwork
• Adult children locating assets after a parent's death

Secondary audiences include estate-planning attorneys, probate paralegals, and financial advisors who use HeirClaim to perform unclaimed-property searches as part of their client services.

HeirClaim's answer:

HeirClaim is the only consumer-facing service that combines a free 50-state unclaimed-property search with AI-generated state-specific claim documents in one place. Most competitors either charge to search (then up-sell document help) or are state-by-state government portals that don't talk to each other. HeirClaim covers all 50 states plus DC simultaneously, generates the actual claim affidavits and cover letters automatically, and offers a Full Service tier where we file claims on the customer's behalf with no upfront cost.

HeirClaim's answer:

Three reasons:

1. Transparent pricing. Document Preparation is a flat fee starting at $29 with no subscription. Full Service is contingency-based with no recovery meaning no fee, capped at the state regulatory maximum.

2. All 50 states in one search. Competitors typically focus on a single state portal or charge per state. HeirClaim searches every US state treasury database simultaneously with automatic name-variation matching for maiden names, hyphens, and common misspellings.

3. AI-generated state-specific paperwork. Each state has its own affidavit format, cover letter requirements, and small-estate thresholds. HeirClaim generates the correct documents automatically based on the user's situation and the state's current requirements.

HeirClaim's answer:

HeirClaim was founded after [the founder discovered a relative had unclaimed property held by a state treasury that no one in the family knew about / a personal experience helping family recover forgotten assets]. The process of finding the money was easy thanks to free state databases, but actually claiming it required navigating state-specific paperwork, affidavits, and probate documents that varied dramatically from state to state.

HeirClaim was built to solve the second half of that problem. Anyone can search NAUPA's missing-money database for free. The hard part is turning a search hit into actual recovered cash. HeirClaim automates the document preparation and offers a contingency-based filing service for people who would rather not handle the paperwork themselves.

HeirClaim serves individual US consumers and heirs. Customer identities are kept confidential as a matter of policy.
