Why Estates Are Important:

To protect your customers and brand, DCM Services has made finding estates a priority for three critical reasons:
  • By pursuing recoveries through the estate process, DCM Services maximizes contact with the appropriate estate representatives, such as the personal representative or estate attorney, while eliminating unnecessary contact with survivors of the deceased account holder.
  • DCM Services' approach to account recoveries honors the intentions of the decedent who, while alive, set aside funds in an estate to pay creditors after his or her death, without bother to survivors.
  • And finally, though claims against probated estates have longer liquidation cycles than non-estate or voluntary accounts, estate claims can liquidate at rates substantially higher than voluntary accounts and can represent a significant share of recoveries.
