Our Step-by-Step Surplus Funds Claim Filing Process
Step 1: Identification of Potential Surplus Funds
We regularly review foreclosure and court records to identify cases where a property was sold for more than the total debt and related costs.
When we see that surplus funds may exist in your name or in the name of a deceased relative, we confirm that the records appear to show an overage (surplus) after the foreclosure sale.
Step 2: Initial Contact and Preliminary Explanation
We contact you to explain, in plain language, what surplus funds are and why we believe surplus funds may be held in connection with your former property.
We provide an estimated amount of the potential surplus based on available records and explain which court or agency is currently holding the funds.
We outline the general requirements for claiming the funds so you understand what the process will involve before you decide whether to move forward.
Step 3: Engagement and Authorization
If you choose to proceed, we provide you with an agreement that explains our contingency fee structure, our responsibilities, and your role in the process.
You review and sign the agreement and any required authorizations so we can act on your behalf with the court or agency.
We explain each document you sign and answer any questions you may have before you finalize the engagement.
Step 4: Detailed Records Review and Eligibility Confirmation
We obtain and review the foreclosure file, including the sale amount, payoff figures, court orders, and any lien information.
We calculate the approximate surplus by comparing the sale proceeds to the debts, fees, and costs that were paid from the sale.
We confirm your legal interest in the property by reviewing deeds, probate records, and any relevant ownership documents. For heirs, we verify heirship and explain who may be entitled to claim the funds.
If we determine that you are eligible to pursue the surplus, we move forward with preparing your claim. If we find that you are not eligible, we explain why.
Step 5: Preparation of the Claim Package
We prepare the required claim forms or petitions according to the procedures of the court or agency holding the surplus funds.
We gather supporting documentation, which may include identification, proof of former ownership or heirship, court orders, foreclosure documents, and any additional evidence requested by the court.
We review the full claim package with you, explain what each document is for, and obtain your signatures where required.
Step 6: Filing the Claim
We submit your surplus funds claim package to the appropriate court or agency within the required deadlines.
We confirm receipt of the filing and note any scheduled hearings or response dates.
We provide you with a copy of what was filed and a clear summary of what happens next in the process.
Step 7: Court or Agency Review and Follow-up
The court or agency reviews your claim and may request additional information or clarification.
We respond to these requests on your behalf, gathering and submitting any additional documents needed.
If a hearing is scheduled, we explain what the hearing is for, what you can expect, and what participation, if any, is required from you.We provide you with a copy of what was filed and a clear summary of what happens next in the process.
Step 8: Resolution and Disbursement of Funds
Once the court or agency reaches a decision, we inform you of the outcome and provide copies of any orders or written decisions.
If your claim is approved, we explain how and when the funds will be disbursed, and coordinate any required documentation to release the funds.
Our contingency fee is then paid from the approved surplus funds, as outlined in our agreement, and we account for the final distribution to you.
