What Alaska law says about recovery services

Alaska has a tiered statutory fee cap: 10% of value for property worth $500 or more, but up to 20% for property worth less than $500 — so the cap depends on the size of the recovery. No enforceable agreement can be signed until 24 months after the state actually receives the property, and any signed agreement is only good for 6 months and must itemize the fee and property value. No PI-licensing requirement was found in the statute, but check directly with Alaska DOR's 'Fee Finders' program before operating.
