Surplus funds are excess money left over after a property is sold at a tax deed sale or foreclosure auction for more than what was owed in taxes, liens, mortgage debt, and associated fees. This excess money rightfully belongs to the former property owner.

You may be owed surplus funds if your property was sold at a tax deed sale or foreclosure auction and the sale price exceeded the amount owed. Our free eligibility check can quickly determine if you have a valid claim.

Surplus amounts vary widely, from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. The amount depends on your property's sale price versus what was owed in taxes, liens, or mortgage debt. We've helped clients recover anywhere from $1,000 to over $100,000.

Yes, there are strict deadlines that vary by county, typically ranging from 2-4 years from the sale date. These deadlines are firm and missing them means losing your right to recover the funds permanently. Don't wait - contact us immediately if you think you may be owed surplus funds.

We work on a contingency basis - you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is only collected when we successfully recover your surplus funds. The specific percentage will be clearly outlined in your service agreement before we begin work on your case.

Most surplus recovery cases are completed within 60-90 days from start to finish. However, the timeline can vary depending on county procedures, case complexity, and whether there are multiple claimants involved.

You'll need basic property information (address, approximate sale date), valid identification, and any property documents you may have. We handle obtaining most of the required documentation from county records.

While we work diligently to recover surplus funds for all eligible clients, we cannot guarantee specific results. Success depends on various factors including property records, county procedures, and legal requirements that are beyond our control.

To be eligible, you must have been the legal owner of the property at the time of sale, the property must have been sold for more than what was owed, and the claim must be filed within the statutory deadline. We can quickly assess your eligibility with our free evaluation.

You may still be eligible if you legally owned the property at the time of the sale. This includes properties you inherited, purchased, or acquired through other legal means. We can help determine your eligibility regardless of how you obtained ownership.

Bankruptcy doesn't automatically disqualify you from surplus recovery, but it can complicate the process. We have experience handling surplus claims involving bankruptcy situations and can help navigate any additional requirements.

When multiple parties have potential claims to surplus funds, the process becomes more complex. We have experience coordinating with other claimants and ensuring our clients receive their rightful share according to legal priority and property ownership records.
