What to Expect During the Process

While we research your eligibility and prepare your claim, here’s what happens:

1️⃣ We Get Your Approval to Start
Once you decide to move forward, we’ll send you a starter packet containing simple forms and an authorization for us to work on your behalf. Once you complete and return the packet, we’ll begin your search immediately.

2️⃣ We Verify Records
Our team conducts a thorough review of county foreclosure records, court documents, and treasurer reports to confirm whether surplus funds are available from the sale of your property.

3️⃣ We Keep You Updated
You won’t be left wondering. Throughout the process, we’ll provide regular updates on your file status and answer any questions you have along the way.

4️⃣ We Prepare Your Claim
If surplus funds are located, we prepare all the necessary legal paperwork to initiate your claim. We’ll file documents with the appropriate government agencies and courts to ensure everything is submitted accurately and on time.

5️⃣ We Advocate for You
We follow up with government offices and court clerks to confirm your claim is progressing. If additional documentation or clarification is needed, we handle it promptly to avoid delays.

6️⃣ You Relax While We Work
Once your claim is filed, you can focus on your family and your future. We take care of the details until your funds are approved and released.

Most searches take 1–3 weeks. If surplus funds are confirmed, it typically takes an additional 4–12 weeks to process and release your payment, depending on your state’s regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Reclaiming Your Surplus Funds—Clear Answers for Your Peace of Mind.

1️⃣ What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds (also called overages, excess proceeds, or surplus recovery) are the extra money left over when your foreclosed property sells for more than the balance you owed on your mortgage and any liens.

2️⃣ How much money can I claim?

It depends on your property’s sale price. Some homeowners have reclaimed $5,000, $25,000, or even over $100,000+. Every situation is unique, so we perform a free search to determine your exact amount. Our largest recovered amount was 217,508.49.

3️⃣ How do I know if I’m owed anything?

Most homeowners are never notified about their surplus funds or don’t understand how to access them. We conduct a comprehensive records search to confirm whether you have a claim.

4️⃣ Is there a time limit to claim surplus funds?

Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations—in some cases as short as 6–12 months. If you wait too long, the money is forfeited to the state or other parties. Time is of the essence.

5️⃣ Why wasn’t I notified about this money?

Notifications are often mailed to your last known address or filed with the court. Many former homeowners never receive them or don’t realize what they mean.

6️⃣ How does NestRefund help me recover my funds?

We handle everything from start to finish—research, claim preparation, court filings, and follow-up with government offices—so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

7️⃣ How long does it take to get my money?

Every case is different, but once your claim is submitted, funds are typically released within 4–12 weeks, depending on your state and the court’s processing time. The key thing is to get the paperwork in as early as possible.

8️⃣ What does it cost?

There are no upfront fees. We only charge a success-based fee which varies by state when your funds are recovered, so you pay nothing if we are unable to collect.

9️⃣ Can I claim surplus funds from a foreclosure that happened years ago?

Yes. Surplus recovery is a legal process recognized by courts and government agencies nationwide. Each state has its own statute of limitations for claiming overages, ranging anywhere from 1 year to as long as 20 years, depending on local laws. As the former homeowner, you have the right to claim these funds, provided you submit the required paperwork before the deadline expires.

🔟 Is this process legal?

Yes. Surplus recovery is a legal process recognized by courts and government agencies nationwide. As the former homeowner, you are entitled to claim these funds.
