Understanding surplus funds

Discover what surplus funds are, why they matter to property owners, and how Legacy Asset Recovery helps you navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds are money that may remain after a property is sold at a foreclosure or tax deed sale and certain debts and costs have been paid. Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the former property owner or other eligible parties may have the right to claim those remaining funds.

Why claim your surplus funds?

Claiming eligible surplus funds allows property owners to recover money that may rightfully belong to them instead of leaving it unclaimed. Depending on the amount and individual circumstances, those funds could help provide financial relief, pay bills, reduce debt, or support future goals.
