Recover money that belongs to you after a tax deed sale.
After a property is sold at a tax deed sale, there can be surplus/overage funds left over. Those funds may be held by the county or state, and in many cases the former owner or lienholders can claim them. We help you find out what’s owed and guide you through a clean, documented recovery process.
How it works
Our goal is to take a confusing process and turn it into a simple checklist you can follow. We help with documentation, claim preparation, and submission support.
1Eligibility & funds verification
We identify the tax deed sale, confirm whether surplus funds exist, and verify the likely claimant (owner, heir, lienholder).
2Document collection (guided)
We provide a tailored checklist (ID, proof of ownership, estate/heirship documents if applicable, lien paperwork, etc.).
3Claim packet preparation
We assemble forms, exhibits, and signature pages into a claim-ready package aligned with the county/state requirements.
4Submission & follow-up
We support filing submission and track responses so issues are corrected quickly (missing signatures, notarization, additional proof).

FAQ
What are tax deed surplus (overage) funds?
If a property sells at a tax deed sale for more than what’s owed (taxes/costs), the extra amount may be held as surplus/overage funds. In many cases, eligible parties can file a claim to recover those funds.
Who can claim the funds?
Often the former owner, heirs/estate, or certain lienholders. Eligibility depends on the jurisdiction and the facts of the case. We help determine the likely claimant and the documentation typically required.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary by county/state and by how complete the initial claim submission is. Clean documentation generally reduces delays.
Do you charge upfront?
We do not charge a fee upfront, we charge a contingency fee and only get paid if funds are recovered for our clients.
Are you a law firm?
No. Home Fund Recovery Solutions is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. If your claim requires legal representation or court action, you should consult a licensed attorney.
