Senior Case Manager- Asset Recovery

About The Role The Return Assets Division is seeking a meticulous Case Manager specialized in forensic genealogy, heir location, and asset recovery. This is not an administrative role; it is an investigative position focused on identifying, proving, and recovering dormant assets held by State Unclaimed Property Offices. As a Case Manager, you will take the lead on complex "decedent accounts"—cases where the original asset owner has passed away, often leaving behind substantial unclaimed funds without a clear path of succession. You will use a combination of deep‑diving public records research and advanced OSINT tactics to build exhaustive family lineages. Your primary mission is to construct bulletproof heirship tables and compile the exact documentary chains required by state controllers to prove ownership and successfully release funds. What You Will Do (The Mission) Architect the Lineage: Take ownership of unclaimed property files from initial data discovery through to final state payout, managing the end-to-end estate and kinship investigation. Construct Heirship Tables: Research, design, and draft legally binding, court‑ready family trees and heirship tables mapping line of descent under varied state intestacy laws. Conduct Forensic Genealogy: Pore over historical and modern vital statistics—including birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates, federal census data, probate files, and immigration manifests—to verify kinship. Execute Targeted OSINT & Skip‑Tracing: Deploy advanced OSINT, social media intelligence (SOCMINT), and proprietary locational databases to track down missing, estranged, or unknown heirs globally and establish contact. Build State Claim Packages: Review strict, state‑specific evidence requirements to systematically compile identification, probate orders, small estate affidavits, and continuity‑of‑address proofs. Navigate State Audits: Act as the primary liaison with State Unclaimed Property Offices. Requirements Proven Investigative Background: 3+ years of professional experience in forensic genealogy, probate research, heir‑finding, title abstracting, or as a paralegal specializing in estate administration. Lineage & Intestacy Expertise: Deep, practical familiarity with constructing line‑of‑descent charts and an understanding of how state intestacy laws govern property distribution. Advanced OSINT & Public Records Mastery: Exceptional capability utilizing specialized search engines, public county court portals, historical repositories, and public record aggregators (e.g., LexisNexis, TLO, or Ancestry/FamilySearch institutional tiers). Meticulous Document Gathering: A track record of tracking down physical and certified vital records from bureaucratic agencies across multiple state and local jurisdictions. Case Rigor: Strong organizational skills to manage dozens of active state claims simultaneously without letting critical deadlines or missing documentation fall through the cracks. Highly Desirable "Bonus" Skills Experience utilizing link‑analysis or mind‑mapping software to visualize complex, multi‑generational family trees. Fluency in navigating foreign vital registries for first‑ and second‑generation immigrant asset cases. Benefits What We Offer Premium Tools & Data Access: Access to tier‑one investigative databases, historical archives, public records scraping utilities, and genealogical platforms. Operational Autonomy: The independence to build and manage your investigative strategies on a high‑volume, high‑yield portfolio of claims. Competitive Compensation: A stable base salary with a performance‑based bonus structure connected to successful claim yields and asset recovery milestones. #J-18808-Ljbffr
