What Massachusetts law says about recovery services

Massachusetts caps finder fees at 10% of the property's value and voids any agreement signed within 24 months of the state receiving the funds. The written agreement must disclose the property's nature/value and the current holder's identity, and the owner can challenge an unfair fee at any time — but no PI license or state filing of the agreement is statutorily required.
