Answer every question on it and attach the papers it asks for, plus a copy of the will (and trust, if one is named) if there is a will. If a personal representative has been appointed, or the estate is worth more than $75,000 after liens, the personal representative must file, with Letters of Office certified in the last 60 days.
A finder agreement is void if signed between the date the property was presumed abandoned and 24 months after it was turned over to the Department of Revenue (agreements with a lawyer to file a claim are an exception). After that, the agreement must be in writing, describe the property and services, be signed by you, and show the property's value before and after the fee. The fee cannot be more than 30% of the property's value. If you agreed to more, you (or the state for you) can sue to cut the fee.
