and excess proceeds from tax sales and mortgage foreclosure cases.

surplus or excess proceeds from a tax deed sale or mortgage foreclosure.

Who We Help

We work with individuals and entities who may be entitled to surplus funds or excess proceeds, including:

  • Former Property Owners

  • Heirs and Beneficiaries

  • Estate and Probate Representatives

  • Attorneys and Legal Professionals

If you believe you may be entitled to surplus funds from a completed tax deed sale or mortgage foreclosure, our team can help determine your eligibility.

Why Use a Recovery Firm

Many times, surplus funds remain unclaimed

because the recovery process can be complex,

time sensitive, and requires familiarity with 

court procedures and filing requirements.

Although property owners and heirs may pursue surplus claims independently, the process often involves multiple agencies, strict deadlines, and detailed filing requirements. This can lead to claims that are delayed or denied due to procedural errors or incomplete submissions.

Sunset Surplus helps streamline the process by handling the research, documentation, and timely filings on your behalf.

1. What are surplus funds?
Surplus funds are excess proceeds left over after a property is sold at a tax sale or foreclosure.

2. How do I know if I’m owed money?
If you owned a property that was sold at auction, you may be entitled. We can check at no cost.

3. Can I claim the funds myself?
Yes. Property owners and heirs can file independently, but the process involves strict deadlines and detailed filing requirements.

4. What does Sunset Surplus do?
We research, verify eligibility, prepare documents, and file the claim on your behalf.

5. How much do you charge?
We work on a contingency basis — we only get paid if you recover funds.

6. How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by state and agency, but most claims take several weeks to a few months.

7. What documents are required?
Typically proof of identity, ownership, and sometimes estate or heir documentation.

8. Who can claim surplus funds?
Former property owners, heirs, estates, or legally assigned parties.

9. Is there a deadline to claim?
Yes. Deadlines vary by jurisdiction. Missing them can forfeit your rights.

10. Are these funds guaranteed?
No claim is guaranteed; however, we only pursue cases with a strong legal basis.
