Money in Government
Waiting to Be Claimed.
State-held funds is a broad category that covers any money held by a government entity on behalf of a private individual. This includes funds held by county clerks of court following a foreclosure or tax deed sale, funds deposited with courts during litigation, and dormant assets turned over to state treasury agencies under unclaimed property laws.
What all of these have in common is that the funds belong to a private individual by law, the government entity is simply holding them, and there is a deadline by which the claim must be filed or the funds are permanently absorbed.
RCG identifies and recovers all categories of state-held funds through licensed attorneys at no upfront cost. If money is owed to you by a court, county, or state agency, we will find it and file for it.
Foreclosure Surplus Funds
When a foreclosed property sells at auction for more than what was owed, the excess is deposited with the county clerk. It belongs to the former owner and must be claimed before the statutory deadline.

When a county sells a property at a tax deed auction for more than the taxes owed, the overage is held by the county clerk. Former owners are entitled to this amount by law.
