Money the government
is holding for you

When a home is foreclosed or sold at a tax deed auction for more than what was owed, the extra money — called surplus funds — is held by the court. It belongs to the former property owner. But most people never know it exists, and the clock is ticking.

We specialize in identifying these funds, filing the legal claim, and recovering every dollar you're owed. You don't pay us anything unless we succeed.

Real Example — Florida Surplus Claim
Auction sale price $187,400
Amount owed on mortgage $142,000
Court filing fees – $485
Outstanding liens cleared – $2,100
Your surplus recovery $42,815

Example for illustration. Actual amounts vary by case.

Three steps.
Zero upfront cost.

1

We Find Your Funds

You provide your property address and ownership details. We search Florida's court records and identify any surplus funds being held in your name.

2

We File the Claim

Our team handles all legal paperwork, court filings, and correspondence with the clerk's office. You don't need a lawyer or any legal experience.

3

You Receive Your Check

Once approved by the court, funds are disbursed directly to you. We collect our contingency fee only after you've been paid — not a moment before.

The Summit Guarantee If we don't recover your surplus funds, you owe us absolutely nothing. No fees, no costs, no fine print.

Built on trust.
Proven in Florida courts.

Common questions,
straight answers.

Surplus funds are the excess proceeds left over after a property is sold at a foreclosure auction or tax deed sale. When a home sells for more than the outstanding debt, liens, and fees, the remaining balance is deposited with the court clerk and held for the former property owner. Florida law entitles you to claim these funds — but you must know to ask for them, and you must file within the legal deadline.
Nothing. Zero. We work on a pure contingency basis, which means you pay us nothing to open a case, nothing while we work, and nothing if we are unsuccessful. We are only compensated as a percentage of funds we actually recover on your behalf — and only after you have been paid first.
If you previously owned a Florida property that was foreclosed upon or sold at a tax deed auction, there is a reasonable possibility that surplus funds were generated. The best way to find out is to contact us — we'll conduct a free search of the county clerk records using your property address and ownership information. There is no cost and no obligation for this initial search.
Yes, and this is critically important. Florida Statute §45.032 and related provisions establish strict deadlines for filing surplus fund claims. After the statutory period expires, unclaimed funds are forfeited to the county. The exact deadline depends on your county and the nature of the sale. If you believe you may have a claim, contact us immediately — waiting costs you money.
In most cases, no. We handle the research, paperwork, court filings, and correspondence with the clerk's office on your behalf. For complex cases involving competing claimants or title disputes, we will advise you if legal counsel becomes advisable — but the straightforward majority of surplus claims do not require you to hire a separate attorney.
Most uncomplicated Florida surplus fund claims are resolved within 60 to 120 days from the time we file. The timeline depends on the specific county, current court backlog, and whether any competing claims are present. We keep you updated throughout the process and work to move each case as efficiently as the court system allows.
