What Nebraska law says about recovery services

Nebraska caps a professional finder's fee at 10% of the property's value and bars fee-charging locators from even accessing/searching the abandoned-property records until 24 months after the owner names are published. The fee agreement must tell the owner what the property is worth and that they could claim it from the State Treasurer for free; the unclaimed-property statute itself does not require a PI license, though Nebraska's general detective-licensing law may separately apply and should be checked with counsel.
