What Rhode Island law says about recovery services

Rhode Island caps locator fees at 10% of the property's value and makes any fee agreement void if signed within 24 months of the property being turned over to the state treasury. The written agreement must tell the owner they can claim the property free of charge directly from the treasurer, and must state the property's value and what the owner keeps after the fee — no PI license or state filing is required, but courts can still void an agreement later as unconscionable.
