STEP01

Identify Surplus Funds

We review detailed county auction reports to find funds left over after debts like taxes or mortgages are paid — money that rightfully belongs to the former owner or their heirs.

STEP02

Locate & Sign Agreement

Our research team tracks down potential claimants or heirs. Once located, we explain the process in plain language and sign an agreement to proceed — no cost to you at this stage.

STEP03

Title & Lien Check

We perform a complete title search to identify any existing liens or competing claims that must be addressed before funds can be released.

STEP04

Verify Funds

We confirm the surplus funds are still available and being held for recovery by the county, state, or trustee.

STEP05

Prepare & File Paperwork

We handle every legal document required and cover the associated costs, so you never have any upfront expenses.

STEP06

Notarize & Submit

Documents are notarized and submitted directly to the relevant office on your behalf, by our attorney.

STEP07

Follow Up

We track your claim's progress with the county, state, or trustee and keep you updated throughout the process.

STEP08

Distribute Funds

When funds are released, you receive the amount agreed upon, and we collect our pre-agreed contingency fee — never before.
