Surplus Fund Recovery
After a foreclosure or tax sale, property owners often find themselves in a position where the total value of the property is significantly lower than the outstanding debt. This gap is known as a surplus. Our methodical approach ensures that every dollar of this surplus is recovered and returned to the rightful owner, providing a clear path to financial recovery.
We work directly with homeowners to secure these funds through a transparent process. By collaborating with experienced attorneys, we navigate the complexities of the legal system to ensure that surplus funds are not lost to administrative fees or unclaimed assets. Our commitment is to your property rights and your financial future.
“Property owners are entitled to the full value of their assets. We recover every surplus dollar through a methodical, transparent process.”
Your Rights to Unclaimed Surplus Funds Under Ohio Law
Under Ohio Revised Code § 5721.20, when a property is sold at a tax certificate sale or a foreclosure auction for more than the taxes, interests, and costs owed, the previous owner or lien holders are legally entitled to the resulting surplus funds. These funds are held by the county treasurer or the court, but if they remain unclaimed for a specific period, they may be transferred to the state's unclaimed funds treasury. Our mission is to navigate the legal process to ensure these funds are returned to you, the rightful owner, before they are lost to state accounts.
Navigating the Ohio court system to claim these funds involves strict filing deadlines and specific documentation requirements. We provide the expertise necessary to verify your eligibility and file the required legal petitions to secure your disbursement effectively and transparently.
