When a foreclosed or tax-deed property sells at auction for more than what was owed, the leftover money — the surplus — legally belongs to the former owner or their heirs. We find it, verify it, and help you claim it. You pay nothing upfront.
After a tax deed or mortgage foreclosure, many former homeowners never realize they're entitled to anything. But when a property sells at auction for more than what was owed, that difference — after liens, second mortgages, and other debts are settled — is called a surplus fund. By law, it belongs to the former owner, or to their heirs if the owner has passed.
