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.

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.
We start by checking available county and state records to confirm whether funds may exist for a name or property.
If funds appear to exist, we outline what the agency typically requires to validate ownership, heirship, or authorization.
We help keep the process organized and documented so you can move forward with confidence and fewer delays.
