When a property sells at a tax deed or foreclosure auction for more than what was owed, the leftover — the surplus — belongs to the former owner. Most people never claim it. We find it, file it, and get it into your hands.
County and court records hold billions in unclaimed surplus funds. We search, verify, and file the paperwork most people don't know exists.
When a property is sold at a county tax auction for more than the taxes owed, the excess is held for the former owner to claim.
After a mortgage foreclosure sale, any amount above what was owed to the lender is surplus — and it's often left unclaimed with the court.
No case number, no problem. We search county and state records on your behalf to check whether funds are sitting in your name.
Recovering surplus funds means dealing with courts, county clerks, and strict claim deadlines. This is the order it has to happen in.
We search public records to confirm a surplus exists in your name and how much is owed.
We confirm your identity and ownership history to establish your legal claim to the funds.
We prepare and submit the claim paperwork to the county or court holding the funds.
Once approved, funds are disbursed to you directly. We're paid our fee only at that point.
Surplus funds from tax sales and foreclosures are a matter of public record, held by the county or court. Recovering funds owed to you is a legal right — we simply handle the research and filing on your behalf.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning our fee is a percentage of the funds recovered — and only if we recover them.
If you lost a property to a tax sale or foreclosure, tell us the county and approximate date. We'll search the records and let you know what we find, at no cost to check.
It varies by county, but most claims resolve in a few months once filed. Deadlines to claim vary by state, so timing matters.
