What Connecticut law says about recovery services

Connecticut caps a finder's fee at 10% of the recoverable property's value, and the written agreement is void if signed too early relative to the holder's report-filing date (roughly a 2-year lockout). The contract must disclose the property's value, the owner's net take-home after the fee, and that the owner can claim it themselves for free. No PI license or bonding requirement was found in the statute, but that absence should be confirmed with counsel before treating it as settled.
