If you’re here, it’s probably because you got a letter, postcard, email, or even a phone call from us, and you may be skeptical.
When someone reaches out saying you have money coming your way, your first instinct is usually “Yeah right.” Good! You should be cautious. You should ask questions, check us out, and make sure we’re real.
Great Lakes Legacy Services, LLC exists for one simple reason: to help good people get funds that slipped through the cracks. It’s more common than you think, and most folks never know it exists unless someone like us tracks them down.
We’re here to explain how that happens, why we contacted you, and how we can help.

WHY WE REACHED OUT
Every year, millions of dollars in Michigan go unclaimed because:
​
-
People move and don’t update all of their accounts
-
Companies merge or close
-
Insurance benefits never get claimed
-
Banks mark accounts as dormant
-
Account owners pass away without a beneficiary designated
-
Probate gets messy, and paperwork gets lost
-
Refunds go to outdated addresses
-
Local governments hold funds after foreclosures or tax issues
Most people have no idea they’re owed anything. That’s where we step in – to make sure you actually know what’s sitting out there waiting to be claimed.
THE TYPES OF MONEY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT
We help recover all kinds of hidden or forgotten assets, including:
Dormant Bank Accounts
Lost Or Uncashed Checks
Old Insurance Payouts & Settlement Funds
Unclaimed Inheritances
Probate-Related Refunds
Foreclosure Surplus Funds
Tax-Related Excess Proceeds
Utility Or Escrow Refunds
Employer Or Retirement Leftovers
Uncashed Stocks And Bonds
If we reached out, it’s because we found something tied to you, your family, or an estate you may be connected to.

We handle cases that others consider “too complicated,” including:

Researching estates across counties, states, or even overseas
-
Digging through registers of deeds, old land tract records, probate files, cemetery archives, and more
