Welcome, I hope this message finds you well. I understand that you recently received a postcard, call, or text regarding money that you may be owed. While it's normal to be skeptical about such things, I wanted to let you know that it's always worth exploring these types of claims, as they could potentially result in you receiving money that is rightfully yours. Ultimately, the decision to pursue any potential claims is up to you, but I encourage you to at least explore the possibility of getting back any excess money owed to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best regards!!

These are two examples of what we come across in order to locate the client that we try to help. The first picture called notice of surplus is what the county sends to the previous owner to let them know they have a claim, if the notice of surplus does not reach the previous owner it will go back to the county as returned mail, because they usually send the notice to the last address on file for the tax deed surplus. The second example is from an auction calendar with all the foreclosures that took place which is a completely different process. The final judgement in the second example is usually the amount of the surplus which it has to be approved and released by a judge. These cases can be a long-drawn-out process that is why we work on contingency bases to help the client in the difficult process of getting the customer their money back.

What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds are created when a foreclosed home sells for more than the taxes owed at a tax auction sale, Minus whatever liens you had against the property if any

How do I have a claim and why didn't the county/state contact me?

1. Example: If you lost your home for back taxes or missed the redemption period due to a lien, let's say you owed $5000 in back taxes and your home sold for $50,000 you would have a claim for $45,000 the state/county only takes the taxes owed to them.

2. The county did try to reach you by notice, but since you were foreclosed on you were already moved out of the previous address on file, thus not knowing you were entitled to funds.

3. However mortgage foreclosure is a different process from a tax deed sale. Mortgage Foreclosure is when the defendant(previous owner) falls behind on their mortgage payment and a lawsuit is filed in the court through a trustee or HOA, it usually creates a surplus, just dealing with the courts and can get lengthy
