There could be money out there with your name on it.
Every year, billions of dollars in surplus funds, tax-sale overages, and unclaimed money sit forgotten in government accounts. We find it, file the paperwork, and put it back in your hands — and you never pay a cent until we do.
What I do
I track down money the government is holding for you
When a home is sold at a tax sale or foreclosure for more than what was owed, the extra money — the surplus — belongs to the owner. But nobody tells you. That's where I come in.
I find the funds
I search county records, tax-sale rolls, and unclaimed-property databases across every state you've lived in to locate money connected to you.
I file the claim
I handle the paperwork, the court filings, and the back-and-forth with the agency holding your money — so you don't have to.
You get paid
Once the funds are released, you receive a check. My fee is a percentage of what's recovered — nothing upfront, nothing if we find nothing.
Family money too
Deceased relatives may have left behind unclaimed funds, insurance, or property proceeds. I can research those connections as well.
Every state counts
Money gets left behind in places you've forgotten you lived. Tell me every state you've ever resided in and I'll search them all.
No risk to you
If there's nothing to recover, you owe nothing. I take on the time and the cost of the search — you keep all the upside.
Why does this money go unclaimed?
Most people have no idea surplus funds even exist. After a tax sale or foreclosure, the county is supposed to notify the owner — but notices go to old addresses, get lost, or are never sent at all. After a year or two, the money quietly becomes government revenue.
I've made it my business to find that money before it disappears — and to return it to the person it belongs to.
