Surplus Funds Recovery

Money May Still Be Owed to You From a Past Tax or Property Sale

When a property or asset is sold to satisfy unpaid taxes, liens, HOA debts, or other obligations, it can sell for more than what was owed. In many cases, the remaining balance is held by a county or state agency and may be claimable by the former owner or eligible heirs.

What this is

What Are Unclaimed Surplus Funds?

In some jurisdictions, when a property is sold to satisfy taxes, liens, HOA obligations, or related debts, the sale can generate excess proceeds. Those funds may be held by a county, court, or state agency and can sometimes be claimed by the prior owner or eligible heirs.

Public-Record Based

We start by checking available county and state records to confirm whether funds may exist for a name or property.

Clear Requirements

If funds appear to exist, we outline what the agency typically requires to validate ownership, heirship, or authorization.

Structured Support

We help keep the process organized and documented so you can move forward with confidence and fewer delays.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers to common questions about surplus funds and the recovery process.

What are surplus funds (excess proceeds)?

Surplus funds can occur when a property or asset sells for more than what was owed. The remaining balance may be held by a county, court, or state agency and may be claimable by eligible parties.

Who can claim these funds?

Often the former owner. In some cases, eligible heirs, estates, or authorized representatives may also qualify depending on local rules.

Is there an upfront cost?

No upfront cost for the initial review. If you proceed beyond the review phase, fees (if any) are discussed clearly before you take action.

Do I need the exact property address?

Not always. If you do not have the exact address, provide what you know. We can often work from partial information depending on the jurisdiction.

How long does recovery take?

Timelines vary by county and agency workload. We provide a clear outline of next steps and typical processing expectations after the review.

Are you affiliated with any government agency?

No. Beeliance Asset Recovery is an independent service provider and is not affiliated with any county, state, or federal agency.

Are you a law firm?

No. Beeliance Asset Recovery is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. In certain cases, licensed attorneys may be consulted or involved through independent third-party partnerships when required.

What if the former owner is deceased?

Many jurisdictions allow heirs or estates to claim funds with appropriate documentation. We outline what is typically needed for an estate-based claim.

Is recovery guaranteed?

No. Recovery depends on eligibility and the agency’s determination. We focus on accurate research, proper documentation, and clear steps.

What documents might be required?

Common examples include identity verification, proof of ownership, probate or estate documents, or authorization to act on someone’s behalf. Requirements vary by jurisdiction.
