Once a property is seized, it is sold at an auction. If the winning bidder purchases the property for more than the amount that is needed to pay off the delinquent taxes and existing liens, there is an excess amount of funds that is generated as a result. The additional amount collected is what is known as excess funds or excess proceeds. By law, the excess funds can then be claimed by the previous property owner, however, there is only a short period of time allowed to claim the available funds before the funds are forfeited and gone forever. If you’re interested in recovering this money before the instructed deadline, please give us a call today!

If the previous property owner is deceased, they are still other members of the family who are entitled to these funds with priority given to how one is related to the deceased. Other family members entitled to the excess funds include the spouse, the children, and the parents of the deceased.

Not at all! Our fees are deducted directly from the recovered funds, and you only pay if we are successful. If we are not, you do not pay anything, so there is no risk to you.
