Why Was I Contacted?
Why Meridian Assignments May Have Reached Out to You
If you got a call, a letter, an email, or a text from Meridian Assignments, it’s natural to wonder what it’s about and whether it’s even real.
That’s a fair question, and we’d rather answer it directly than leave you guessing.
Meridian Assignments is an independent, privately owned company. We do professional investigative and research work related to potential unclaimed funds.
If we reached out, it’s likely because our research turned up publicly available information that seemed worth a closer look.
That said, a communication from us doesn’t mean money is definitely waiting for you. It doesn’t mean you’ve been confirmed as eligible. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re obligated to do anything.
All it means is that something in the records caught our attention enough to warrant a proper review. What happens after that depends entirely on the facts, the documentation available, the law that applies, any deadlines involved, and our own professional judgment.
Why Did Meridian Assignments Contact Me?
We reach out to people when our research suggests they might have some connection to unclaimed funds — whether that’s tied to property proceeds, an estate, court-held money, government-held funds, or another possible source.
That connection might trace back to things like:
- Prior property ownership
- Tax sale or foreclosure records
- Court records
- County records
- Other public records
- Estate or probate matters
- A possible link as an heir or beneficiary
- Historical ownership information
- Various other public sources
Records like these are often messy — outdated, incomplete, or just hard to piece together. That’s exactly why we don’t jump to conclusions before doing a proper review, and why we invite people to request one.
Does This Mean I'm Guaranteed to Receive Money?
No.
Being contacted by us doesn’t mean funds definitely exist, that you qualify, or that you’re getting a payout.
It just means something in our research seemed worth a second look.
Whether you’re actually eligible can hinge on a lot of things — your identity, ownership history, family relationships, the status of an estate, legal deadlines, paperwork, other people with competing claims, and the rules of whatever jurisdiction applies.
We’re not in a position to guarantee eligibility, a payment, a recovery, an approval, or any particular outcome — and we wouldn’t want to pretend otherwise.
Is Meridian Assignments a Government Agency?
No.
We’re not affiliated with any government agency. We’re a private company doing investigative and research work tied to potential unclaimed funds.
Our research sometimes touches on records held by government agencies, counties, courts, or other public bodies, but that doesn’t mean we represent them. Any mention of government, county, or court records in our process is strictly for research and eligibility purposes.
Is Meridian Assignments a Law Firm?
No.
We’re not lawyers, and we don’t offer legal advice.
We won’t act as your attorney, and nothing we say should replace advice from a licensed attorney, tax advisor, or financial professional. If you want a second opinion before signing anything or making a decision, you’re free — and honestly encouraged — to get one.
How Did Meridian Assignments Find Me?
We do our research using publicly available records, documentation, and other information we can access.
Sometimes those records point to a person, an estate, an heir, a current or former property owner, a business, or a beneficiary who might have some tie to unclaimed funds.
But records aren’t always reliable. Names change. Addresses go stale. Estates sit unresolved for years. Ownership history can get tangled. That’s exactly why getting contacted is just the first step — not proof that you’re eligible for anything.
Why Wasn't I Contacted Before?
There’s no single answer to that — it could be any number of things.
Maybe the records were outdated. Maybe your address changed. Maybe ownership details were unclear, or an estate hadn’t been settled yet. Sometimes heirs or beneficiaries are genuinely hard to track down, and some funds only surface after we’ve cross-referenced several different records together.
Every case plays out a little differently.
What Should I Do Next?
If Meridian Assignments reached out to you, the next step is simple: request a confidential eligibility review.
That review lets us figure out whether there’s a real potential interest here, and whether we’re actually in a position to help.
You’re under no obligation to move forward, and being contacted doesn’t mean you have to sign anything.
Feel free to ask questions, look over what we share with you, and decide for yourself whether it makes sense to continue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was I contacted by Meridian Assignments?
Probably because our research turned up publicly available information connected to you that seemed worth reviewing. That’s it — it doesn’t mean funds definitely exist or that you’ve been confirmed eligible.
Why did I receive a phone call?
Likely because our research suggested a possible connection between you and a potential unclaimed funds matter. The call itself is just an invitation to request a confidential review, nothing more.
Why did I receive a letter?
Because we found information that may tie back to you, your family, a property, an estate, or some other potential claim source. The letter isn’t confirmation of anything — it’s just an explanation of why a closer look might make sense.
Why did I receive an email or text message?
That’s part of our normal outreach after research pointed to a possible connection. Whether you respond or request a review from there is completely up to you.
How did Meridian Assignments get my information?
We pull from publicly available records and documentation, along with anything you’ve voluntarily shared with us through forms or other communication. That can include property records, court records, county records, tax sale or foreclosure records, probate records, and similar sources, depending on the situation.
Is this a scam?
It’s a completely reasonable thing to ask whenever you get an unexpected message about money. We’d encourage you to look through our website, read about our process, ask us anything, and check with your own advisor if you’re still unsure. You should never feel rushed into moving forward before you understand what’s actually happening.
Are you affiliated with the government?
No. We’re not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government agency.
Do I have to work with Meridian Assignments?
Not at all. You can request a review, ask questions, talk to your own advisor, handle the matter yourself, or simply do nothing. It’s your choice.
Do you guarantee recovery?
No. We can’t promise that funds exist, that you qualify, or that any recovery will actually happen.
Why do you need my information?
We need enough to figure out whether you’re actually connected to a potential claim or fund source. That might touch on your identity, ownership history, family relationships, property ties, estate details, or other documentation relevant to eligibility.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. We handle what you submit carefully and only use it for eligibility review, communication, documentation, and evaluating your claim. We don’t sell your personal information.
What happens after I submit an eligibility request?
We take what you’ve given us and compare it against available records and documentation. If it looks like further review makes sense, we’ll follow up with questions or explain what your options might look like.
Will I have to pay upfront?
That depends on the specifics of your claim and what kind of assistance applies. For a lot of qualified claims, we work on contingency — meaning we only get paid if a recovery actually goes through, under a signed agreement. Other situations might involve an assignment agreement or a claim purchase, where the law allows it.
What is an assignment agreement?
It’s a written agreement where someone with a qualifying claim can assign certain rights to another party, if the law permits it. Not every claim is eligible for this, and whether it applies depends on the facts, the paperwork, the law, and our own evaluation.
Can Meridian Assignments purchase a claim?
In some cases, yes — after we’ve evaluated the claim and done our due diligence, we may offer to buy the claim rights outright or take on a stake in it. That’s always voluntary, and it only happens within the bounds of the law and a signed written agreement.
