How Surplus Funds Recovery Works
If your property was sold at a foreclosure or tax sale, there may be surplus funds (also called excess proceeds) left over after debts and costs were paid. Many former property owners never realize they may be entitled to claim this money.
Legacy Fund Recovery guides you through a clear, organized process and coordinates with a licensed attorney when required.
Step 1: Free Eligibility Review
We begin with a free consultation. You provide basic details such as:
- Property address
- Approximate foreclosure or tax sale date
- Your name, as it appeared on the property
We research public court and county records to determine whether surplus funds may exist in your case.
Step 2: Research & Confirmation
If funds appear to exist, we review:
- Sale amount vs. debt owed
- Potential liens or competing claims
- Heir or ownership issues
- Deadlines set by the court or county
We explain the situation in plain language so you understand your options before moving forward.
Step 3: Documentation & Claim Preparation
Once you decide to proceed, we help you gather the required documents, which may include:
- Identification
- Proof of ownership
- Court forms
- Affidavits or supporting documents
If legal filing must be handled by a licensed attorney, we coordinate with the appropriate professional to ensure compliance.
Step 4: Filing & Follow-Up
The claim is submitted to the appropriate court, trustee, or county office. Processing times vary depending on the state and complexity of the case.
We help track the status and keep you informed so you are not left wondering what happens next.
How We Get Paid
In many cases, we work on a contingency basis, meaning:
- No upfront fees
- We are paid only if funds are successfully recovered
Any fee arrangement is clearly explained in writing before you proceed.
Important Notes
- We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
- Results depend on state laws, deadlines, liens, heirs, and court requirements.
- Not every foreclosure results in surplus funds.
