Hello!
I just received a signing to notarize an unclaimed property recovery agreement from a company called GovRecover.
I searched it and found out that it is registered with BBB company with very good ratings. I’m still having second thoughts about doing this signing, especially I’m a newbie and it’s for an 84 y.o person.
Anyone has any experience working with that company?
Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you!
Hi there!
I recently completed an assignment with GovRecover for an unclaimed asset recovery agreement. It was just one signature and one notarization—very simple and straightforward.
I haven’t been paid yet, so I can’t speak to their payment timeline, but the signing itself went smoothly and the signer had no issues.
It’s completely understandable to be cautious, especially when working with elderly signers. As long as everything looks legitimate, the signer appears to be signing voluntarily, without any signs of pressure or coercion, and you’re following proper ID verification and notary procedures, you should be in good shape.
Wishing you all the best with this signing—and much success in your notary journey!
I have plenty of relatives in their 80’s that could easily agree to sign a document. 84 is not even close to infirm. If that is a call you have to make when you arrive to sign you notify the people who hired you and request 100% payment. I have signed a multi million dollar purchase package for an 88 year old before He and his wife both still drove. Don’t ever assume age means incapable.
@ide1dou You’re wise to question these types of Signing Orders [SOs].
These are usually a result of tax lien Sheriff Sales or loss of a home due to foreclosure with funds due to the homeowner.
Often the original homeowner is deceased & the proceeds are now “owned” by the heirs who probably are unaware of the funds due to them . . .
Or, they left no forwarding address, etc.
FYI: Some states will move the funds from the homeowner’s account into the State’s coffers if the funds remain unclaimed for 12 months (or sooner).
Ergo, there’s normally a time-limit on the turnaround interval to recapture the funds.
