Surplus funds are the money left over after a foreclosure or tax sale, when a property is sold for more than what was owed on it. These funds are typically due to the former property owner and can be recovered through a claims process.

Eligibility for surplus funds depends on several factors, including whether you were the property owner at the time of the foreclosure or tax sale. Our team will review your case, gather the necessary documents, and confirm your eligibility to claim any available funds.

We operate on a no recovery, no fee basis. This means that you only pay for our services if we successfully recover your surplus funds. If we do not recover any funds, you owe nothing.

Our team will locate the trustee’s sale or county tax records to determine whether surplus funds exist. If funds are available, we’ll guide you through the next steps to recover them.

To file a claim, we typically need documents such as your ID, recorded deed, or other proof of ownership. If you are not the original property owner, additional documentation may be required to prove your right to the funds.

The recovery process can vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether there are competing claims. Generally, it can take several weeks to months for the claim to be processed and funds to be released. We’ll keep you updated on the status every step of the way.

Surplus funds are typically held for a limited period. If the funds are not claimed within the statutory holding period, they may be transferred to the state as unclaimed property. It’s important to act quickly to ensure you don’t miss out.

In the case of competing claims, the trustee or county will evaluate the claims and determine the rightful recipient. If necessary, our team can assist with filing a petition (CIV-170) in court to resolve any disputes.

No, there are no upfront fees. We only charge a fee once we successfully recover surplus funds for you. This ensures that our interests are aligned with yours, and you don’t pay anything unless we succeed in obtaining your funds.
