What a search won't find
A search only reaches what’s on record. Physical valuables usually turn up the old way, by going through the home.

Families, executors, and attorneys trust Elayne
“I thought I was set because my dad was super organized and I already had his tax returns. My attorney recommended Elayne anyway, and they found an old brokerage account with about $350,000 in it. I never heard of it.”
Brenda T.
Daughter, NY
“Elayne turned up a term life insurance policy I didn't even know existed - $250,000. That's how I could afford to stay in the house. And could breathe a little.”
Tara V.
Surviving spouse, CA
“We were digging through mail, folders, sticky notes, really old boxes of documents. Then we tried Elayne, and they found two old bank accounts I had no idea my mom had. Almost $60,000 in total!”
