💰 What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds are extra money left over after a foreclosure or tax deed sale. When a property sells for more than what was owed, the remaining balance is held by the court or county.


🤔 How do I know if I have funds?

Most people don’t know they have money waiting. We check public court and county records to see if funds may be available in your name or tied to a property you owned.

💸 How much does it cost?

There are no upfront fees.

We only get paid if you successfully recover funds.


⏳ How long does the process take?

It depends on the county and the specific case, but most claims take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.


📄 What information do I need to provide?

Basic details help us get started:

  • Your name
  • Property address (if known)
  • County and state
  • Any documents or notices you’ve received

👨‍👩‍👧 What if the property owner is deceased?

Funds may still be claimed by heirs or family members. The process may require additional documentation, but we can guide you through it.


⚖️ Is this legal?

Funds are typically held by:

  • The Clerk of Court

  • Court registries


📉 What happens if no one claims the money?

Rules vary by location, but unclaimed funds may:

  • Be transferred to another agency

That’s why it’s important to act quickly.
