What Missouri law says about recovery services

Missouri has no single flat fee cap — instead a tiered schedule: no enforceable fee at all in the first 12 months, up to 10% for property held 12-24 months, up to 15% for 24-36 months, and up to 20% after 36 months. Locators must register with the State Treasurer before filing any claim and use a Treasurer-approved fee agreement, and cannot even access the public unclaimed-property list for fee-charging purposes until 90 days after names are published — all confirmed directly from the official Missouri statute site.
