Money left over from a property sale may belong to you.

When a property is sold at a foreclosure or tax sale for more than what was owed, the leftover amount is called surplus funds, overages, or excess proceeds. That money is usually held by the court or another agency for the former owner, or for their heirs if the owner has passed away. It typically isn't paid out automatically. Someone has to claim it.

No. There is no upfront cost and nothing to pay out of pocket. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid if your funds are recovered, and our fee comes out of the recovered amount. Your agreement spells out the terms in writing before we begin.

Property sales and court cases are public records. We review those records to find sales where money may be owed to the former owner, then reach out. You can confirm the case yourself with the court or clerk that handled the sale. We will never ask you for a credit card or an upfront payment.

It depends on the state, the court, and the details of the case, such as whether other parties file claims or heirs need to be identified. Some claims move quickly and others take longer. We'll give you a realistic picture of your case and keep you updated throughout.

Yes. You have the right to file a claim on your own without hiring anyone. Many people choose to work with us because the process can involve court filings, deadlines, and paperwork they'd rather not handle themselves.

Often, yes. Heirs may be entitled to the funds. These claims usually require extra documents to show who the rightful heirs are, and we help families work through that process.
