Helping You Recover Surplus Funds from Property Sales and Foreclosures
We help former property owners and heirs identify and claim surplus funds that may be held after foreclosure, tax sales, or court-ordered property transactions.
WHAT WE DO
What Are Surplus Funds?
When a property is sold due to foreclosure, unpaid taxes, or court order, it may sell for more than the amount owed. After debts and fees are paid, the remaining balance is known as surplus funds or excess proceeds.
In many cases, these funds are:
• held by county or court offices
• unclaimed by former owners
• subject to strict filing deadlines
HOW WE HELP
We assist clients by:
• Reviewing public property sale records
• Identifying potential surplus fund eligibility
• Locating required documentation
• Assisting with claim preparation
• Coordinating the filing process
Our goal is to simplify a process that is often confusing, time-sensitive, and difficult to navigate alone.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Free Review
We review available public records associated with your property or name.
Step 2: Verification
We determine whether surplus funds may exist and who may be eligible to claim them.
Step 3: Claim Assistance
If funds are available, we assist with preparing and submitting the necessary documentation.
Step 4: Recovery
If the claim is successful, funds are released to the rightful party according to county or court procedures.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You may be eligible if you:
✅ Previously owned a home that went through foreclosure
✅ Had a property sold at a tax sale
✅ Are an heir or representative of a former property owner
✅ Received limited or no information after a property sale
✅ Want help navigating the claims process
