Asset Recovery
Surplus funds / excess proceeds
We help rightful owners navigate the red tape.
After certain tax deed sales, there may be surplus funds (also called excess proceeds). In many cases, those funds belong to the prior owner or other eligible claimants — but the process can be confusing and paperwork-heavy. We help you understand what’s required and guide you through the claim steps.
Eligibility review
We start with a quick check to confirm whether a claim may be possible.
Packet preparation
We help assemble the documentation the county typically requires.
Submission guidance
We walk you through where and how to submit — and what to expect next.
Status tracking
We help you stay organized and respond if the county requests more info.
How fees work
We typically work on a percentage basis, depending on the case details.
The goal is simple: help you navigate the process efficiently and avoid common delays.
If a matter requires an attorney (e.g., probate or contested ownership), we’ll tell you upfront.
Common reasons claims get delayed
- Missing identity / ownership documentation
- Probate issues or unclear heirs
- Incorrect forms or incomplete packets
- Deadlines and county-specific procedures
We provide process guidance and document help — not legal advice.
