How we help
Three steps. No upfront cost, ever. We are only paid if we successfully recover money for you.
1We check for what's yours
Tell us about the property. We look for surplus funds waiting to be claimed and confirm you're the rightful party.
2We fight for your restoration
We research the liens, prepare the paperwork, and tirelessly pursue your claim with the county or court on your behalf.
3You receive what's owed
The funds are released to you. There's no upfront cost — we're only paid if we successfully recover money for you.
Thinking of filing it yourself?
You absolutely can, and for some people that is the right call. Here is what you would be taking on, so you can decide with your eyes open.
- Find who is holding the money. Work out which county office or court has the funds, and get yourself onto their surplus list.
- Prove you are the rightful party. Deed, chain of title, and identification that matches the records exactly — a middle initial can stop a claim.
- Track down every lien and judgment. Mortgages, tax liens, HOA dues, and court judgments all get paid in a set order before you see anything.
- File the right form, their way. Each county has its own motion or claim form, its own format, and its own filing fee.
- Beat the deadline. Every state sets a time limit. Miss it and the money is gone for good — usually to the state.
- Show up if asked. Some counties require a hearing before releasing funds.
