Don’t worry—most clients don’t have every document handy. We specialize in tracking down the necessary court records, auction details, and title information.

We’ll walk you through what you can provide (like an ID or proof of ownership), and we’ll handle the rest. You don’t need to be buried in paperwork—that’s our job.

There is no true “average,” because payouts depend on the property, how much was owed, and what the property sold for at auction. Some clients recover a few thousand dollars; others have recovered six-figure amounts. What matters most is that if you are legally entitled to surplus funds, we’ll help you claim every dollar that belongs to you—and you pay nothing unless we succeed.

Yes. However, the process can be complex, requiring legal paperwork, deadlines, and court procedures. We handle it all for no upfront cost.

The timeline varies by court and county. In many cases, once the claim is filed properly, funds are released within 90–120 days. Some claims resolve sooner, while more complex cases (for example, with multiple heirs) may take longer. During your free consultation, we’ll review your specific situation and give you a realistic timeline.
