What Vermont law says about recovery services

Vermont caps a locator's fee at 10% of the unclaimed property's value and voids any agreement signed before 24 months have passed from delivery of the property to the state treasurer. Locators must register with the Treasurer's Unclaimed Property Division and post a $10,000 performance bond, and payment must go directly to the owner rather than the locator. Because the primary statute (27 V.S.A. § 1604) could not be directly retrieved due to a site access error, confirm the exact bond amount and registration process against the official text or with the Treasurer's office before activating this state.
