Foreclosure Surplus
Was there money left over after the foreclosure sale?
When a property sells at foreclosure for more than what was owed, surplus funds may be available to the people with a right to them. We review whether a claim may be possible. We cannot guarantee any recovery.
What are foreclosure surplus funds?
If a foreclosure sale brings in more than the debts and costs owed, the remaining amount may be held for the people with a legal right to it. That can include a former owner or that owner's heirs. Rules and deadlines vary by state and county.
We help you understand whether funds may exist, who may have a right to them, and what the process may involve.

Common questions
Can you guarantee that surplus funds are available?
No. Whether surplus funds exist depends on the sale and the debts owed. We review the situation to see whether a claim may be possible, and we cannot guarantee any particular outcome.
Are there deadlines to claim surplus funds?
Time limits can apply, and they vary by state and county. If you think funds may be available, it is worth asking sooner rather than later.
Do I pay anything to have a possible claim reviewed?
There are no upfront fees for property review. If we agree to a recovery, payment is made according to the written agreement and available proceeds.
