FAQs

  • What are surplus funds?
    Excess funds resulting from the sale of a foreclosed property are commonly referred to as "surplus", "overage", or "excess funds". Whether it's a mortgage foreclosure, association foreclosure, or tax-deed foreclosure, the property is sold at auction, frequently exceeding the amount owed. In such cases, the surplus funds rightfully belong to the original homeowner or their heirs.
  • Why am I owed funds?
    You have been identified as the appropriate party to claim these funds because property you owned has gone through a foreclosure or tax sale, or because you are an heir to property that has gone through sale.
  • What are the fees associated with filing a surplus funds or excess income claim?
    We only collect a fee upon successful recovery of your unclaimed funds. If we are unable to secure the funds, you will not incur any charges.
  • What happens to the surplus funds if I choose not to claim them?
    The majority of counties retain these funds for a duration of 2 to 3 years. Following this period, certain counties opt to transfer the funds to the state, while others choose to relinquish the funds entirely, which results in you losing access to them.
