Frequently Asked Questions

You might have some questions, and that's perfectly normal! Many people do. To save you some time, we've compiled some of the most frequent inquiries along with clear-cut answers below.

  • Foreclosure can be a difficult situation, but sometimes there can be a surprising silver lining. When a foreclosed property is sold at auction, it may occasionally sell for more than the amount owed. This extra money, called "surplus funds" or "excess proceeds," can rightfully belong to the original homeowner or their heirs.

  • Did you or a family member own property in Florida that went into foreclosure? You could be entitled to unclaimed funds from the sale.

  • The funds we are contacting you about are held at the county court registry. They are the result of a tax-deed foreclosure sale, where the amount the property sold for at auction is more than the amount it was being foreclosed on for. These are called “surplus funds”.

  • Our records indicate you may be eligible to claim surplus funds from a tax-deed foreclosure sale. This can happen if you were the owner of the property, or if you are an heir to the previous owner. In Florida, if someone dies without a will, the state has a set of rules determining inheritance.

  • Typically, a motion needs to be filed with the court so that these funds can be collected. In order to do this, you can hire an attorney or file on your own.

    By working with C & J Asset Recovery Group , all of the attorney’s fees and related expenses are completely covered by us. We work strictly on a contingency basis, you only pay a fee if we successfully recover your funds.
