WHO WE ARE

Expert Recovery of Unclaimed Estates Nationwide

AEI is an estate‑recovery firm that specializes in reuniting rightful heirs with unclaimed assets. We monitor probate records and public filings across the country, identify estates where heirs have not been notified, and contact those heirs to guide them through the recovery process. We don’t charge anything upfront. We don’t ask for bank account numbers or sensitive financial details. We work on a contingency basis — meaning we only get paid when you do. If we can’t recover anything, you owe us nothing

OUR MISSION

Bridging Families to Unclaimed Legacies

01/ The Problem We Solve

Most people assume that when a family member passes away, the estate automatically finds its way to the right people. That’s rarely how it works. The truth is, government agencies have no obligation to track down heirs. Counties publish a small legal notice in a local newspaper — and that’s it. If no one comes forward, the funds remain in government accounts for years, sometimes decades, until the state claims it for good. We’re talking about real families losing real wealth. Homes that could have been purchased. Medical bills that could have been covered. College funds that never materialized. The gap between what people are owed and what they actually receive is enormous —and the American Estate Institute was created to close it.

02/ Our Values

Transparency: We explain everything in plain language — no fine print, no hidden conditions, and no surprises at any stage of the process. Integrity: We operate with honesty and accountability from start to finish. Our fee structure is simple, and aligned with your success — we only win when you do. Thoroughness: We manage the entire recovery process with precision — from genealogical research and heir verification to document preparation and legal coordination — ensuring nothing is overlooked. Professionalism: Every case is handled with discipline, discretion, and urgency. AEI relies exclusively on public records, genealogical resources, and administrative processes. It does not provide private‑investigator services.
