Welcome To Legacy Fund Recovery
When a property is sold at auction, the winning bid is often higher than what is owed to the lender or the county. That extra money is called surplus funds or excess proceeds—and in many cases, it belongs to the former owner. Legacy Fund Recovery helps you find out if you are owed money and guides you through the entire claim process from start to finish.
About Us
Legacy Fund Recovery specializes in helping former property owners locate and claim surplus funds left over after tax sales, mortgage foreclosures, and other court-ordered auctions. We research public records, review your case, and connect you with the right professionals so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Our process is simple and transparent: we confirm whether funds are available, explain your options in plain language, and assist with the paperwork and follow-up. We typically work on a contingency basis, which means you owe nothing upfront and we only earn a fee if we successfully recover money for you.
Our Services
From the moment you discover there might be surplus funds in your name, to the moment your claim is approved, Legacy Fund Recovery is by your side with clear steps, simple explanations, and dedicated support.
We search county and court records to confirm whether surplus funds are available under your name, the property address, or the case number. We then review the details with you so you understand exactly what may be owed.
We help identify other parties who may have an interest in the funds, such as lienholders or heirs, and explain how that can affect your claim. Our goal is to help you approach the process in a clean, organized way.
We assist you in gathering documents, filling out claim forms, and submitting them to the correct court, county, or trustee, helping you avoid delays or simple mistakes that could slow your recovery.
We keep track of your claim status, follow up with the county or trustee, and keep you updated, so you don’t have to spend hours on hold or trying to decode legal language on your own.
In many cases, working with an attorney or other licensed professional is the safest way to complete your claim. We help connect you with trusted partners and coordinate information to make the process smoother.
We answer your questions, share clear explanations, and walk you through each stage so you always know what’s happening with your potential surplus funds recovery.
Not sure if you’re owed money after a foreclosure or tax sale? We’ll review your situation, explain how surplus funds work in your state, and let you know if there is a potential claim in your name—at no cost and with no obligation.

FAQ
Surplus funds can be confusing, especially when you are also dealing with the stress of losing a property. These answers give you a simple starting point. For details about your specific situation, you can always request a free consultation.
Remember that every state and county has its own procedures and deadlines. Acting sooner rather than later can make a big difference in whether you’re able to successfully claim the money that may be owed to you.
When a property is sold at a foreclosure or tax sale, the winning bid must first pay off the amount owed—such as the mortgage, taxes, fees, and costs. If the winning bid is higher than that amount, the extra money left over is called surplus funds or excess proceeds.
Depending on the laws in your area, those funds may belong to the former owner or may be shared with other parties such as lienholders. Many people never find out they are entitled to any of this money.
Usually, you would need to check court or county records for the specific case number or property address. Some counties send letters, but not everyone receives or understands them, and notices can be easy to miss.
At Legacy Fund Recovery, we start by researching your situation and confirming whether surplus funds exist. Then we explain what we found in simple language and outline your options.
In most cases, we work on a contingency basis. That means there are no upfront fees for our research and assistance. If no funds are recovered, you typically owe nothing for our services.
If there is a potential claim, we clearly explain our fee agreement and make sure you understand everything before moving forward.
Timeframes vary by state and county. Some claims can be completed in a few weeks, while others may take several months depending on the court, the number of parties involved, and how quickly documents are processed.
During your consultation, we give you an honest estimate based on your specific case and keep you updated on progress as things move forward.
