What Tennessee law says about recovery services

Tennessee caps a locator's fee at the greater of 10% of the recoverable property's value or $50, and any locator agreement signed within 24 months of the property being paid/delivered to the treasurer is void. The written agreement must describe the property and services, be signed by the owner, and state the value before and after the fee. No PI licensing requirement was found, but attorneys handling claims are treated separately under the statute.
