What surplus funds are
Surplus funds (also called excess funds, overages or excess proceeds) are the money left after a foreclosure or tax sale pays the debt, interest and costs. Courts, county treasurers and trustees hold that money for the former owner, lienholders and heirs until someone files a valid claim.
Who we help
Former homeowners who moved on after a foreclosure, families settling the estate of a loved one, heirs who just learned about a sale, and attorneys or agents helping a client. We work in every state and research county records nationwide.
How our recovery service works
1) We search public foreclosure and tax sale records. 2) We confirm the exact amount and holder with the court or county. 3) We check liens, heirs and deadlines. 4) We prepare the claim for you to review and sign. 5) We track it until you are paid. Our fee is in a written agreement, follows your state's limits, and is only paid from money you actually receive.
You can also claim it yourself
Many courts and counties let owners claim directly at no cost, and we always tell you so. Hiring a recovery company is optional. It mostly helps when there are heirs, competing liens, court motions or tight deadlines.
