Foreclosure Recovery · No Upfront Cost

Foreclosure Surplus Funds

When a foreclosed property sells for more than what was owed, the excess legally belongs to the former owner. Most people never know it exists. We find it and recover it.

Money the Court
Is Holding for You.

Court-Held Funds
Legally Yours by Statute
Deadline-Driven Recovery
Zero Upfront Cost

When a lender forecloses on a property and sells it at auction, the sale price frequently exceeds the total amount owed on the mortgage and any other liens. That excess is called foreclosure surplus. Under Florida law and the laws of most states, that money belongs to the former property owner by right.

The problem is that most former owners never receive notice that surplus funds exist. The money sits with the clerk of court, often for years, before it is absorbed by the state through a process called escheatment. By then, the window to claim has closed.

RCG monitors foreclosure filings daily across all active states. When surplus is identified with your name attached, we reach out, file through licensed attorneys, and recover your funds at no upfront cost.

01

Property Sells at Foreclosure

When a lender forecloses on a property and sells it at auction, the sale price often exceeds the amount owed on the mortgage and any other liens.

02

Surplus Funds Are Generated

The difference between the sale price and the total debt is called the surplus. By law, this money belongs to the former property owner, not the lender.

03

Funds Are Held by the Court

The surplus is deposited with the clerk of court in the county where the foreclosure took place. It sits there until claimed or until the statutory deadline passes.

04

We Identify and File

RCG monitors county court records daily. When we identify surplus connected to your name, we reach out, file the claim through licensed attorneys, and manage the entire recovery process.

05

You Receive Your Funds

Once the court approves the claim, funds are disbursed to you directly. Our fee is deducted from the recovery only after you receive payment.

Common Questions

Full FAQ page →
How long do I have to claim foreclosure surplus?
It varies by state. In Florida, former owners generally have up to one year from the certificate of title. In other states windows can be as short as 60 days. Contact us immediately if you believe surplus exists.
What if the property had multiple liens?
Liens are paid in priority order from the sale proceeds. Any amount remaining after all liens are satisfied belongs to the former owner. Our attorneys review the lien structure on every case.
Can I claim if I went through bankruptcy?
Possibly. Bankruptcy complicates the process but does not automatically disqualify a claim. Contact us and we will evaluate your specific situation.
What if someone else is also claiming the funds?
Competing claims happen. Our licensed attorneys handle disputes and objections as part of the recovery process at no additional cost to you.

Think Surplus Funds May Exist?

We search your name and any properties connected to you. If surplus funds exist, we file the claim and handle everything. You pay nothing unless we recover.
