We handle a range of surplus fund recovery cases across the United States.
When a home or property is sold at a county tax auction for more than the delinquent taxes owed, the surplus is legally the former owner's money. These excess proceeds are held by the county and must be claimed within a set window — often 1 to 3 years.
In judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sales, if the property sells above the amount owed to the lender, the excess funds belong to the homeowner or subordinate lien holders. These often go unclaimed because homeowners don't realize they're owed money after a foreclosure.
When a government or utility takes property through eminent domain, the compensation offered is sometimes less than the property's true value. We can help identify and document underpayment claims.
Deceased individuals may have had properties sold with unclaimed surplus funds. Heirs and estate administrators can file claims on behalf of the estate if proper documentation is provided.
Some municipalities sell abandoned or blighted properties through municipal auction processes. Any excess proceeds from those sales may be recoverable by former owners or their successors.
