What We Recover

Our Services

Billions of dollars in unclaimed funds sit in court registries and state treasuries every year. We specialize in identifying and returning what's legally yours.

🏠

Foreclosure Surplus Funds

When a lender forecloses and the home sells at auction for more than the mortgage balance, the overage belongs to the former homeowner — not the bank.

  • We identify surplus funds in court records
  • Verify your ownership of record
  • File all legal claim paperwork
  • Coordinate with surplus fund attorneys
📄

Tax Deed Overages

When a property is sold at a tax deed auction for more than the back-taxes owed, the excess proceeds are held by the county and must be claimed within a deadline.

  • Research county tax sale records
  • Identify unclaimed overages by address
  • File claims before statutory deadlines
  • Handle probate coordination for heirs
🏭

Unclaimed State Funds

State governments hold unclaimed money from dormant bank accounts, safety deposit boxes, uncashed checks, insurance payouts, and more — often for years.

  • Search state unclaimed property databases
  • Assist with identity verification
  • Prepare and submit claim documentation
  • Follow up until funds are released

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are surplus funds? +
Surplus funds (also called overages or excess proceeds) are created when a property sells at foreclosure or tax deed auction for more than the total debt owed. The overage legally belongs to the former owner — but is held in a court registry or county treasurer's office until someone claims it.
What happens to unclaimed surplus funds? +
If no one claims them within the statutory deadline (which varies by state — often 1 to 5 years), the funds are turned over to the state as unclaimed property. Acting quickly matters.
How much does PropTek Services charge? +
We work 100% on contingency. You pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. Our fee is a percentage of the funds we recover for you, agreed to in your contract before we begin. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing.
Am I eligible if I'm an heir, not the original homeowner? +
Yes. Heirs and estate representatives can often claim surplus funds on behalf of deceased homeowners. We handle the probate coordination required to establish your legal claim.
How long does the process take? +
It depends on the state and county, but most claims are resolved within 6 to 16 weeks once all documentation is filed. We keep you informed throughout the process.
Do I need a lawyer? +
Some states require attorney involvement. We work directly with licensed surplus fund attorneys as part of our service — you don't need to find or hire one separately. It's included.
