Unclaimed Money You May Be Entitled To

Foreclosure surplus funds are excess proceeds remaining after a sheriff sale when a property sells for more than the amount owed. These funds belong to the former homeowner and most people never know they exist.

Court documents and paperwork

The Money Is Waiting.
We Help You Claim It.

When a home sells at a foreclosure auction for more than the mortgage balance, the excess is deposited into the court trust fund under your name. A notice is mailed, but it almost always goes to the old address and never reaches you.

In New Jersey you have up to 10 years to claim these funds. After that they transfer to the state and become much harder to recover.

Heirs and estates may also be eligible

When Auctions Exceed Expectations

Foreclosure auction gavel

During a foreclosure auction, properties sometimes sell for significantly more than the outstanding debt. The lender takes what they are owed. The remaining excess known as the surplus is deposited with the court.

The county sends notification letters to the last known address of the former homeowner. That address is usually the foreclosed home so the letter never reaches them. You can search and claim these funds yourself at no cost, we simply make the process faster, easier, and fully handled for you.

Funds sit unclaimed until someone finds them

Helping Homeowners, Heirs, and Families Recover Surplus Funds After Foreclosure

Catherine Tresvalles

At Evergreen Surplus Recovery, we believe that losing a home should not mean losing money that rightfully belongs to you.

When a foreclosed property sells for more than the amount owed, the remaining proceeds, known as surplus funds, belong to the former homeowner or other legally entitled parties. These funds are held until they are claimed. Unfortunately, many families never recover them simply because they are unaware the funds exist or don't know how to navigate the claims process.

THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN.

Evergreen Surplus Recovery was founded with one mission: to help homeowners, heirs, beneficiaries, and families recover the surplus funds they are legally entitled to receive.

We research foreclosure records, identify surplus funds, determine the parties entitled to claim them, prepare the necessary documentation, and guide our clients through every step of the recovery process with professionalism, integrity, and compassion.

With a background in law, real estate, and legal support, I bring a unique combination of legal knowledge, research, and real estate experience to every case. I understand that behind every file is a person or family who has already experienced a difficult chapter. My commitment is to make the recovery process as clear, respectful, and stress-free as possible while advocating for your interests every step of the way.

At Evergreen Surplus Recovery, our goal is simple: to help you recover the surplus funds that rightfully belong to you.

You have already been through enough. Let Evergreen Surplus Recovery handle the research, documentation, and claims process filed by our attorney partners while keeping you informed every step of the way.

BECAUSE WHAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO YOU SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT BEHIND.

If you'd like to find out whether a foreclosure or sheriff's sale resulted in surplus funds from the sale of a property, contact Evergreen Surplus Recovery for a complimentary consultation. We'll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain the next steps.

Understand Your Options

Knowledge is the first step toward recovery. Learn how unclaimed funds are created and what happens after a foreclosure.

What Are Unclaimed Surplus Funds?

Surplus funds are excess money from foreclosure or auction sales held by the court or government agency. They belong to the former homeowner but most people never claim them because they do not know they exist.

What Happens After a Foreclosure?

When a property sells at auction for more than what was owed, the extra money is deposited with the court. The county sends notice to the last known address which is usually the foreclosed property. Most former owners never receive it.

Who Is Eligible to Claim?

The former property owner is the primary claimant. Heirs, beneficiaries, and estate representatives may also be eligible. Junior lienholders such as second mortgage holders have priority over the former owner in some cases.

How Long Do You Have?

In New Jersey you generally have up to 10 years from the date of the foreclosure sale to claim mortgage surplus funds. Contact us today and we will tell you immediately whether your funds are still available.

Everything You Want to Know Before You Call

How do I know if I have surplus funds?
If your home was ever sold at a foreclosure or sheriff sale, surplus funds may exist. Contact us with your name and former property address. We search court records at no charge and respond within 48 hours with exactly what is available.
What does this cost me?
Nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of whatever we recover, taken only from the recovered funds. Attorney fees are included in our arrangement. You never write us a check directly.
How long does the recovery process take?
From the date our attorney files your motion, the typical timeline is 90 to 120 days to receive payment. We handle all filings, serve all required parties, and follow up with the court throughout the entire process.
Can I do this myself?
Yes. However proper service of all parties, certified mailings, and documentation requirements are strict. Errors restart the timeline. We do it correctly the first time, and our fee comes only from successful recovery.
I have other debts. Does that affect my recovery?
Second mortgages, HOA liens, and judgment creditors may have priority over you in surplus distribution. We review the full lien picture before you sign anything so you know exactly what is realistically available to you.
My foreclosure was years ago. Is it too late?
In New Jersey you generally have up to 10 years from the date of the foreclosure sale to claim surplus funds. Contact us today and we will tell you immediately whether your funds are still available.
What information do you need to get started?
Simply provide your full name and the former property address. We handle the research from there. We will confirm whether funds exist, the amount available, and walk you through next steps at no cost to you.
