What are surplus funds?
Surplus funds refer to the amount remaining after a tax foreclosure or mortgage foreclosure sale when the winning bid exceeds the outstanding debt. These excess funds are typically held for a period of time, and in many cases, the former owner is eligible to claim a portion of them.
The process for claiming these funds can vary significantly from one county to another, making it essential to check local laws and regulations before filing a claim. Unfortunately, many people miss out on these funds due to reasons such as improper paperwork, unawareness of the refund’s existence, or failure to file within the required time frame.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How much does it cost?
We work on a contingency basis. We will never ask you for money upfront! We only get paid if your claim is successful. We will never ask you to pay “out of pocket”.
How long does it take?
It varies. Each jurisdiction is different, and no two cases are the same. From the moment we contact you (after much research to find you) it can take from thirty days to a year. The average is 90-120 days.
Do I need an attorney?
We provide the legal team to file the proper documents and represent your claim. Since it is different for each jurisdiction, we will retain an attorney on your behalf, if needed.
How much is my claim?
There are several factors to determine how much is available. The amount of overdue taxes, court costs, filing fees, liens, and outside debtors are the main examples. Any and all of these need to be examined to give you an accurate portrayal.
How much time is there to file a claim?
Unfortunately, this also varies depending on the governing agent and jurisdiction. While some will allow up to three years, others only have 120 days. Once a deadline has passed, the funds ESCHEAT to the government with no possibility of recovery, EVER!
How soon can we get started?
After we have contacted you (phone, email, letter) and you have accepted our offer to help, we will prepare the documents needed to start your claim. Our team will send a notary to you to sign the proper paperwork. Once signed, we will petition the agencies holding the funds. We can have this started in 24-48 hours.
