What Kentucky law says about recovery services

Kentucky caps finder fees at 10% of the property's value, and the agreement is void outright if signed before 24 months have passed since the property reached the state treasury. The written agreement must disclose the property's nature, its value before and after the fee, and be signed by the owner, and any related advertising must recite the 24-month/10% rule. No PI license is required by this statute, though I could not fully verify a separately-claimed notarized-filing duty — check with KY Treasury/counsel.
