Was Your Property Sold at a Foreclosure or Tax Auction?

It is 100% legitimate and backed by state laws and county court rules. Skepticism is completely natural because there are bad actors in the asset recovery space.

Here is how you know we are legitimate:

• $0 Upfront Cost: We will never ask you for a credit card, cash, or retainer fee out of pocket.
• Regulated Attorney Handling: All legal petitions and motions are prepared and filed by licensed attorneys.
• Protected Funds: Recovered money is issued directly into a state bar-regulated Attorney Trust Account (IOTA/IOLTA) before disbursement, ensuring complete legal compliance and transparency.
• 100% Risk-Free Guarantee: If we don’t successfully recover your money, you owe us absolutely nothing.

When a property sells for more than the balance owed at a sheriff’s sale or tax auction, the court clerk or county treasurer places the excess proceeds into a custodian trust account.

While the government holds the money in your name, they are not legally required to track you down at your new address. If you do not file a formal legal motion before statutory time limits expire, the money undergoes escheatment—meaning it is permanently forfeited to the local government treasury.

State laws set strict statutory time limits—often ranging from 1 to 3 years after the auction date depending on the jurisdiction. Once that legal deadline passes, the money permanently escheats to the local government or state treasury, and it becomes legally impossible to recover. We recommend starting the audit process immediately to protect your funds before time runs out.

Once the judge or county treasurer signs the court order releasing the surplus, the county issues the check to our attorney’s regulated trust account.

The attorney provides you with an itemized settlement statement showing the total recovered amount and exact breakdown, and your net payout is issued directly to you via bank check or wire transfer. The entire process typically takes 30 to 90 days, depending on county court schedules.

We work strictly on a contingency fee basis. That means our fee is a fixed percentage deducted from the funds we successfully recover for you at the very end. If we do not recover any money, our fee is $0, and you owe us nothing for our time, legal filings, or court costs.

Having secondary liens does NOT automatically mean your money is gone.

In many foreclosure proceedings, junior lienholders (like second mortgage lenders or HOA boards) fail to file their claims within strict statutory time limits, or they make procedural errors in court. We conduct thorough lien priority audits to challenge improper claims and protect every dollar you are legally entitled to receive.

Yes, as a former owner, you have the legal right to file a claim independently with the court or county treasurer.

However, navigating court dockets, serving formal legal notices to all involved parties, filing motions according to local civil rules, and arguing against junior lienholders can be overwhelming. A simple procedural mistake or missed deadline can cause your claim to be dismissed or permanently forfeited. We handle the entire legal process for you with zero upfront cost.

That is not a problem at all. You do not need to live near the foreclosed property or travel back for court hearings. Our legal team handles all local filings and court appearances on your behalf, and your recovery paperwork can be completed remotely via secure digital signatures or electronic notary.

No. In almost all cases, you will never have to step foot in a courtroom. Our attorney acts as your legal representative to file all required affidavits, serve notices, and represent the claim at any necessary hearings on your behalf.

Don’t worry. You do not need to keep old records or paperwork. We perform a full docket audit directly through official court and county public databases to gather all case numbers, sale receipts, and legal documentation required for your claim.

If the property owner on the deed is deceased, the surviving spouse, children, or legal estate heirs are entitled to claim the surplus funds. We handle the necessary heirship research, affidavits, and filings required by the court to ensure the money reaches the family.
