A lost asset is a broad term and can mean anything from funds in a bank account, to stocks and shares, pensions and National Savings & Investments. Assets are most often lost or forgotten when people move home or change job and lose documents or when an account is set up by one person for someone else. Assets can also be lost when someone dies intestate (without leaving a will behind.) It is estimated that there is up to £20 billion of lost assets lying dormant in UK financial institutions. For over 18 years Trust Research Services (TRS) has been successfully helping its clients to recover all ranges of lost assets. © 2007 Trust Research Services Ltd. Last updated: January 3, 2008
