Broadview Heirs locates funds and property left behind in estates — held by courts, agencies, and administrators — and helps rightful heirs claim them. You pay nothing out of pocket, ever, and you never share banking details or a Social Security number to get started.
Skeptical? You should be. A letter about an inheritance you didn't expect deserves hard questions. Please — ask us all of them.
If you received a letter or call from Broadview Heirs, it's because our research identified funds or property from an estate that we believe you may be entitled to — often from a relative, sometimes one you barely knew, sometimes from an event many years in the past.
We know exactly how a letter like that lands. The world is full of inheritance scams, and your first instinct — "this can't be real" — is the right instinct. A legitimate firm should welcome that skepticism, and we do. Verify us before you share anything at all: look us up, call our offices, and ask the hard questions.
Here's the honest reason we exist: the custodians holding these funds don't go out of their way to find rightful heirs. Many funds carry deadlines — and after they pass, money that belonged to your family may be kept by the state. Someone has to go looking. That's what we do.
"We will never ask for your banking details, your Social Security number, or a single dollar to begin. A legitimate firm doesn't need them to start — and neither do we."
When you call Broadview Heirs, you won't reach a call center or a script. You'll reach the person who researched your family's matter — someone who can tell you exactly what we found, how we found the connection to you, and what happens next.
Every claim we handle is managed start-to-finish by a named member of our team. You'll have their direct line, and they'll know your file — because they built it. If your daughter, your brother, or your attorney calls instead, that's who they'll talk to, too.
"The first thing I tell every family is: don't trust me yet. Look us up, take your time, bring anyone you want to the conversation. This money isn't going anywhere for a while — but it won't wait forever, and neither should you."
Estates are complicated, records scatter, and institutions aren't obligated to find you. These are the most common ways money that belongs to a family ends up sitting with a custodian instead.
When someone dies without a will — or with heirs the court couldn't locate — assets can sit in administration for years, waiting for family to be found.
Great-aunts, distant cousins, an estranged parent's estate. You can be a legal heir to someone you never met — and no one is required to tell you.
Proceeds from estate sales, settlements, and property events are often deposited with a court or county — and quietly wait there for a rightful claimant.
Bank accounts, insurance policies, and investments a loved one never listed anywhere. Institutions eventually surrender them to the state — unclaimed.
When a property connected to an estate is sold or resolved, surplus funds can be owed to the heirs — who often never learn those funds exist.
Many of these funds face claim deadlines. After they pass, money that belonged to your family can be forfeited for good. That's why our letter exists.
Not sure our letter is about any of these? Call us with the reference number on it and we'll tell you, plainly, what kind of matter it concerns and what verifying it looks like.
You'll know what's happening at every stage, in plain English — and nothing moves forward until you've decided, fully informed, that you want it to.
Our researchers work through court, estate, and agency records to identify funds held in the names of families like yours — and to confirm who the rightful heirs are.
You sign one straightforward confidentiality agreement — it costs nothing and commits you to nothing beyond discretion. Then we disclose everything: the source, the amount, and the path to recovery.
Our team prepares and files every document, coordinates with the court or institution, and carries the claim through each requirement — all at our cost.
Funds are disbursed through the official process. On contingency, our fee comes only out of a completed recovery — or choose Cash-Now and get paid up front instead.
Why the confidentiality agreement first? Finding these funds takes substantial proprietary research — that research is our entire business, and the agreement simply protects it. The moment it's signed, you get complete transparency and decide, fully informed, whether to proceed.
We front every cost — research, filings, professional fees — entirely at our own risk. You pay a fixed, agreed percentage only from a successful recovery. If it fails, we absorb the loss and you owe nothing.
Prefer not to wait, or not to take any chance at all? We can pay you a lump sum today for the claim. That money is completely non-refundable to us — whatever happens afterward is our risk alone.
Whichever you choose, the terms go in a short, plain-English agreement before anything begins — and we genuinely welcome your attorney's review of every page.
"This money was always your family's. Our job is simply to prove it, document it, and walk it through a process most people never knew existed — so it actually comes home."
No stock enthusiasm, no oversized checks. Just what each family was owed, what they were worried about, and how it ended. Sample stories — replace with real, permitted client accounts
"I ignored the first letter. The second one, my son looked them up and said 'Mom, call them.' They never once asked us for money — and they answered every question my son had."
"After Dad passed we just wanted it settled. They offered us money up front, explained it was non-refundable to them either way, and it was in writing two days later."
"My lawyer's exact words were 'this checks out.' They fronted every cost, and the court sent the funds directly to us — Broadview's fee came out after, exactly as the agreement said."
Every story shown here must be a real client account, shared with written permission, with the actual amount. Oddly specific numbers and modest words are the point — that's what the truth sounds like.
No — and please don't take our word for it. Verify us independently: we're a real firm with real offices in St. Louis, Missouri and Danville, California. Look us up, call our main line and ask hard questions, or have your attorney contact us instead. And remember the bright line: we never ask for banking details, a Social Security number, or any payment to get started. An inheritance scam needs one of those three. We don't.
Because locating these funds takes months of proprietary research, and that research is our entire business. The confidentiality agreement protects it — nothing more. It costs you nothing and commits you to nothing except discretion. The moment it's signed, we disclose everything: where the funds are held, how much, and exactly how the claim works. Then the decision is entirely yours.
Sometimes, yes — and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. If you can locate the funds and complete the claim on your own, you owe us nothing. Most families work with us because the funds we find aren't listed in public look-up databases, and because estate claims involve documentation, court procedure, and deadlines that we handle every single day.
You choose one of two ways, both agreed in writing before anything starts: a fixed percentage of a successful recovery (no recovery, no fee — and we front all costs), or a Cash-Now lump sum we pay you today, which is non-refundable to us no matter how the claim turns out. No retainers, no deposits, no "processing fees" — ever.
Never to get started. Early conversations require nothing sensitive at all. Identifying documents come into play only later, during the formal claims process, when the court or holding institution itself requires them — and recovered funds are disbursed through official channels, not routed through us informally.
Please, yes. We're happy to have your spouse, your children, a trusted friend, or your attorney on every call — including the very first one. Decisions about a family's inheritance should be made with the people you trust in the room, and a firm that discourages that is telling you something.
Nothing bad happens to you — there's no obligation, and we don't hound people. But we'd gently say this: many of these funds carry claim deadlines, and once they pass, money that belonged to your family may be permanently forfeited. Our letter exists because a clock may be running. Even if you never work with us, please look into it.
If we've contacted you, have the reference number from our letter handy and call. You'll get a real person and a straight answer about what we found — no scripts, no pressure, and no questions you shouldn't have to answer.
