Strategic Asset Recovery & Escheatment Compliance Support

Northstar Asset Group provides specialized research, skip-tracing, and recovery documentation for individuals, families, estates, and institutional holders. Whether you’re an heir to a trust that’s been dormant for years, a corporate compliance officer managing escheated accounts, or a financial institution looking to resolve aged client funds before state filing deadlines, we handle the research, the documentation, and the claim so you don’t have to.

ABOUT NORTHSTAR

Specialists in What Others Leave Behind

Northstar Asset Group was founded on a straightforward premise: unclaimed funds belong to their rightful owners, not to the state, and not to institutions that have simply stopped looking. We exist to close that gap.

We operate at the intersection of asset recovery, compliance research, and heir identification, serving both individual families navigating complex estates and institutional holders managing dormant account backlogs. Every engagement is built around documentation that can withstand scrutiny, whether that’s a state claims review, a probate court proceeding, or an institutional audit.

Northstar is a Florida-based firm operating under Florida Statute Chapter 717, §197.582, and applicable regulations in all 50 states. Our principals hold active Florida real estate and private investigator credentials, and we maintain a direct vendor relationship with the Florida Department of Financial Services Bureau of Unclaimed Property.

Every claim we prepare is built to meet state audit standards, itemized evidence logs, chain-of-title research, and resolution summaries that hold up under review.

We search across Florida DFS, MissingMoney.com, all 50 state databases, federal bankruptcy registries, county court surplus funds, and regulatory escrow sources, simultaneously and systematically.

From revocable living trusts to dissolved business entities, we identify successor trustees, heirs, and authorized representatives and build the documentation package that gets claims approved.

For financial institutions, insurance carriers, and law firms with aged client funds, we locate owners before your statutory filing deadline, removing the liability from your books without the administrative burden.

Our Core Service Areas

Northstar Asset Group provides comprehensive administrative recovery and compliance support across multiple asset categories. Each service is designed for institutional clients who require documented, audit-ready processes.

SEE ALL

Accuracy before Speed

Every claim we prepare is researched completely before it moves forward. A rejected claim costs everyone time and erodes the trust of the rightful owner.

Documentation over Assumption

We build every case file as if it will be reviewed by a state auditor and a probate judge simultaneously. That standard has never failed us.

Discretion in every engagement

Our clients, whether a grieving family member or a compliance officer at a financial institution, share sensitive information with us. We treat that information accordingly.

Pre-Escheatment Due Diligence

Comprehensive outreach campaigns to locate owners before statutory escheatment deadlines, reducing your organization's state reporting liability under statutes like Florida Chapter 717.

Our Team

Northstar is a founder-operated firm built intentionally lean. Our principals bring backgrounds in Florida real estate, private investigation, compliance research, and institutional documentation, supported by a network of licensed attorneys, certified genealogists, and skip-trace specialists engaged on a case-by-case basis.

We do not have 230 employees. We have the right people for each engagement, selected based on the specific legal, jurisdictional, and research requirements of that case. That model keeps our cost structure low, our quality high, and our client relationships direct.
