When a home is sold at a tax sale or foreclosure and sells for more than what was owed, the extra money belongs to you — the former owner. Most people never find out it exists.
When a property gets sold at a tax sale or foreclosure auction, the county uses the proceeds to pay off what's owed — back taxes, liens, legal fees. If the property sells for more than that amount, the leftover money is called "surplus funds."
That surplus belongs to the former owner. Not the county. Not the buyer. You.
The problem: counties are not always required to track you down. Many former homeowners never learn the money exists, and after a few years, unclaimed funds can be absorbed permanently by the state.
We find the surplus tied to your property, verify your right to claim it, handle every form and deadline, and get you paid.
You don't fill out forms or deal with county offices. We handle everything — you just provide confirmation and receive the check.
We search county records tied to your former property and determine if surplus funds were generated — and if they're still available to claim.
We confirm your identity as the former owner and establish your legal entitlement to the funds. We handle the documentation.
Every county has different forms, notarization requirements, and deadlines. We know them all. We file on your behalf before time runs out.
Once the claim is approved, the county releases the funds. You get paid. We collect our contingency fee from the recovery — nothing out of your pocket.
We know how sensitive this is. You may have gone through a difficult time losing your home. We're here to help you reclaim what's rightfully yours.
We work entirely on contingency. If we don't recover your funds, you pay nothing. Our fee comes out of what we recover for you — never from your pocket before the fact.
This is a formal legal claim, not a loophole. Former property owners have a documented legal right to surplus funds. We file through official county channels — the same process the county itself uses.
Most states have a window of 2–5 years before unclaimed surplus funds revert permanently to the state. If your property was sold in the last few years, time may still be on your side — but don't wait.
