OUR MISSION

What was overlooked
shouldn’t stay lost.

Much of the wealth belonging to Indigenous families has been lost, overlooked, or held in trust for people who never knew it existed.

Kanata Claims is here to help change that. Through dedicated research, pattern recognition, and personal advocacy, we work to connect families with what rightfully belongs to them.

Because this is about more than money.
It’s about family, dignity, and a way forward.

HOW IT WORKS

A careful search.
A meaningful connection.

You don’t have to navigate it alone.
We take it one thoughtful step at a time.

01

We search the records.

Careful research into municipal records, property histories, and tax-sale surplus helps uncover wealth that may have been overlooked.

02

We find the connections.

We trace family connections and identify potential rightful heirs, bringing together the details that connect people to their property history.

03

We walk with you.

We help you understand the findings and guide you through the next steps of a claim, with care, clarity, and respect.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PURPOSE

Hi, I’m Lauren.
And this work is personal.

I believe in justice and in standing with families who have been overlooked. I started Kanata Claims because too many people never find out that wealth has been waiting for them — and I’m not willing to let that keep happening.

I’m a mother, originally from Ontario and now living in Quebec near Montreal. I know what it’s like to fight for what’s fair. When I take on a family’s case, I treat it with the care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Without an advocate, many families would never learn what is theirs. We are here to change that.”
