Federal forfeiture notices and petitions for remission (Forfeiture.gov)

Forfeiture.gov is the Justice Department's official notice board for federal asset forfeitures, published online instead of only in newspapers. If federal agents seized property you have an interest in, or you lost money to a scheme whose assets were seized, you may be eligible to file a petition for remission or mitigation asking for some of it back. The site states the deadline as thirty days from the last date of publication on Forfeiture.gov, or whatever date a personal notice letter sets, so windows open and close case by case rather than all at once. Searching the notices and filing a petition are free; the page also warns that a court may impose a civil fine on anyone who asserts a frivolous interest in the property.
