Tax Sale Surplus Recovery
Tax sale surplus is the most common type of unclaimed funds we
recover. When a property is sold at a county tax sale for more than the
outstanding tax debt, the excess amount — the surplus — legally
belongs to the former property owner.
These sales happen thousands of times per year across every state.
Counties collect what they're owed and hold the remaining funds, but
they often make only minimal efforts to notify the rightful owner.
Lettersget sent to the address of the property that was just sold,
which the former owner no longer occupies.

Foreclosure Surplus Recovery
When a home is sold at a mortgage foreclosure auction, the sale price
sometimes exceeds the total debt owed to the lender. This excess is
held as surplus by the court or county — and the former homeowner is
legally entitled to it.
Banks and mortgage servicers are not required to notify you when
surplus funds exist from your foreclosure sale. Many homeowners
assume that foreclosure means they lost everything, never realizing
that thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars may be waiting for
them.
Typical Amounts
$15,000 ---
$ 50,000 average
Timeline
45 --- 90 days typical
HOA Sale Surplus Recovery
Homeowners associations have the legal authority to foreclose on
properties for unpaid dues and assessments. When an HOA-initiated
sale generates proceeds beyond what is owed, the surplus belongs to
the former owner.
HOA boards and their management companies rarely inform former
homeowners about surplus funds. The amounts may be smaller than
other surplus types, but they still represent money that is rightfully
yours — and every dollar matters.

Eminent Domain Surplus Recovery
When the government exercises eminent domain to acquire private
property for public use — highways, utilities, development projects —
they are required to pay fair market value. However, the compensation
amount is sometimes disputed, and excess funds from condemnation
proceedings can end up in court accounts.
These funds are often forgotten or overlooked, especially when the
original property owner has passed away or relocated. Eminent
domain surplus recovery requires navigating court records and legal
proceedings that can be particularly complex.
Typical Amounts
$10,000 --- $ 75,000 +
Timeline
60 --- 100 days typical
