FAQS



What if the check amount was different than the amount on the claim form?
  • If your payment is less than the original claim, it may be for one of the following reasons:

    • Some properties might have been removed if they belonged to another person.

    • Your claim may have been split between co-heirs and/or co-owners.

    • If the claim included shares, the value of the shares might not be included in the payment. Shares are handled in a separate transaction.

  • If your payment is more than the original claim, it means that we added additional properties.


Will you issue an IRS 1099 form?

No. If you have concerns about tax reporting, consult a tax preparation expert.

I’m afraid the bank in my country won’t accept your check. What are my options?
