Call Us or Submit a Free Lookup Request

Reach out by phone or fill out our online form. Tell us your name, the property address, and the county. That is all we need to get started.

2

We Research County Records — At No Cost

We contact the county treasurer's office and search public records to confirm whether surplus funds exist in your name. 100% free with no obligation.

3

We Contact You With the Results

If we find funds, we call you right away and tell you exactly how much is waiting. If we find nothing, you owe us nothing.

4

You Sign a Simple Agreement

You sign a contingency fee agreement clearly stating our percentage (typically 30–40%) and that you pay nothing unless we recover your money.

5

We File the Claim and Handle All Paperwork

We complete county claim forms, gather documentation, and follow up throughout the process. You do not deal with the bureaucracy.

6

County Reviews and Approves (30–90 Days)

Counties typically process claims within 30–90 days. We stay in contact and keep you updated every step of the way.

You Receive Your Funds

Once approved, the county releases the funds. You receive your share and we collect our agreed percentage. You got back what was rightfully yours.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions

Is this a scam?

Absolutely not. Surplus fund recovery is legal and established. The funds are real, held by county treasurers, and you can verify them yourself by calling the county directly. We encourage you to do so.

Can I file the claim myself?

Yes — surplus funds are public record. The challenge is navigating county paperwork, documentation requirements, and deadlines. Many people miss them. We take that burden off your plate.

How much does this cost me upfront?

Zero. Nothing. We never charge upfront fees of any kind. We only collect a percentage after successfully recovering your money.

What is your fee?

Our standard contingency fee is 30–40% of the amount recovered. The exact percentage will be clearly stated in your agreement before we do any work. No hidden fees.

What if my property sale was more than a year ago?

You may still have time. Indiana generally allows up to 3 years from the tax sale date to file a surplus funds claim. Contact us right away so we can check before the deadline passes.

How long does it take?

Most counties process claims within 30–90 days once the claim is filed. We follow up regularly and keep you updated throughout.
