About Tahoma Recovery
Tahoma Recovery locates unclaimed property held by the California State Controller for former businesses and their owners. When a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship becomes inactive or dissolves, funds owed to it (final bank balances, uncashed checks, vendor payments, deposits, securities held under business names) are turned over to the State as unclaimed property. Reconnecting a dissolved entity to the person legally entitled to those funds is documentary research; preparing and filing the claim with the State Controller’s Office is the firm’s practice.
How the structure protects you
The State pays you directly. When the Controller approves a claim, a warrant is mailed to the claimant. Funds never pass through the firm.
The fee is capped at 10%. California Code of Civil Procedure §1582 caps an investigator’s fee at 10% of recovered funds. The fee is paid separately by the State out of what is recovered.
You pay nothing unless funds are actually recovered. No retainer, no hourly billing, no charge for a claim that does not pay out.
Reviews take up to 180 days from a complete package under the SCO’s standard clock. Claims of $1,000 or more require a wet signature and notarization; your bank will notarize for free.
How to verify
Every California unclaimed property record is publicly searchable at claimit.ca.gov. Recipients of a letter can look up the business named in the letter at no cost, without filing anything, before deciding whether to have the firm handle the claim.
