Surplus funds recovery
The sale is over. The money may still be yours.
After a foreclosure or tax sale, counties often hold leftover proceeds in the former owner's name. We find them, file for them, and stay with you until they're returned.
What are surplus funds
Money the county is holding, quietly.
If a property sold at auction for more than what was owed on it, the difference does not belong to the lender or the county. In most states it belongs to the former owner or their heirs.
These balances sit unclaimed because notices go to an address no one lives at anymore, and because the claim process is written for attorneys, not for families. Deadlines pass. The funds are absorbed. It happens every day.

In their words
Families we've walked beside.
“I had no idea any money was left after the sale. They explained everything slowly, and never once made me feel rushed.”
“Every form was ready when I opened the email. All I had to do was sign. It was the calmest paperwork experience of my life.”
“They followed up with me every two weeks, even when there was nothing new. That kind of care is rare.”
