Meet Me
Meet Me
Sole Operator, Hawaii Unclaimed Funds LLC
I started Hawaii Unclaimed Funds LLC after recognizing that many Hawaii residents and businesses may have money sitting in public records without knowing it is there.
Before starting this work, I attended Kapiʻolani Community College for culinary arts and built a career in hospitality and food service. I worked as a chef at places including Sheraton Waikiki, Bloomingdale's, and Waikiki Market. That background taught me the importance of organization, follow-through, attention to detail, and taking care of people behind the scenes.
After my partner and I welcomed our son, who needs extra care and support, I began looking for meaningful work I could build from home while staying available for my family. During that search, I saw an opportunity to help people identify and recover funds they may not realize are owed to them.
I created Hawaii Unclaimed Funds LLC to provide a transparent, respectful service for people and businesses listed in the State's public unclaimed-property records. My goal is simple: help rightful owners understand what was found, verify the record for themselves, and decide whether they want my assistance with the recovery process.
I believe every person should be able to verify records independently. Hawaii Unclaimed Funds LLC is a private recovery assistance service, not a government agency, and anyone may pursue claims directly through the appropriate government office at no cost. I personally handle every claim — there's no call center and no case gets handed off to someone else.

Pricing
My Fee
My fee is charged only if recovery is successful and only after the client receives funds. There are no upfront fees. The full terms are set out in a written Recovery Agreement — the same document referenced in my Terms of Service — which discloses the record identified, my fee, and your right to cancel before you sign anything. You may also pursue a claim directly through the State at no cost — search the State of Hawaii Unclaimed Property database at unclaimedproperty.ehawaii.gov. Fee agreements may be subject to applicable law. This website is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
