What Colorado law says about recovery services

Colorado currently caps finder fees at 10% of the amount recovered, but unlike most states this cap is set by administrative rule under authority granted in C.R.S. § 38-13-1302, not fixed directly in the statute — so it is more likely to change over time and should be double-checked against the live rule before every engagement. No agreement is enforceable until 24 months after the property reaches the Treasurer, and the contract must tell the owner they can file for free directly with the state. Could not fetch the underlying CCR rule text directly (blocked), so confirm the current percentage with counsel or the Treasury before activating Colorado.
