Q:What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds are the money left over after a foreclosure or tax sale when the property sells for more than what was owed. This excess money belongs to the former property owner or their heirs, but many people don't know it exists or how to claim it.

Q:How do I know if I'm owed surplus funds?

If you lost a property to foreclosure or tax sale, there may be surplus funds waiting for you. We research public records to determine if funds are available in your name. Contact us for a free claim review—we'll let you know if you qualify.

Q:How much does your service cost?

Our service has zero upfront cost. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if we successfully recover funds for you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovered amount, which we'll discuss with you before starting any work.

Q:How long does the recovery process take?

The timeline varies depending on the state and county where your property was located. Some claims can be resolved in a few weeks, while others may take several months. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

Q:What do I need to provide to get started?

To begin, we typically need basic information about the property (address, approximate date of sale) and documentation proving your connection to the property (such as the original deed or proof of heirship). We'll guide you through exactly what's needed.

Q:Can heirs claim surplus funds?

Yes! If the original property owner has passed away, their heirs are typically entitled to claim the surplus funds. We can help navigate the additional documentation required for heir claims.

Q:What if I already tried to claim the funds myself?

Many people attempt to claim surplus funds on their own but get overwhelmed by the paperwork or legal requirements. We can step in at any point in the process to help you complete your claim successfully.

Q:Is this service available in my state?

We assist clients across all 50 states. Each state has different laws and procedures for surplus funds recovery, and we're experienced in navigating these variations.

Q:What happens if you can't recover my funds?
