Surplus funds are created when a property sells for more than what was owed. That extra money belongs to the former owner — not the government.
Your home was foreclosed and sold at auction. If it sold for more than your mortgage balance, you may be owed the difference.
Your property was sold for unpaid taxes. If the sale price exceeded what you owed, surplus funds may still be sitting unclaimed.
A deceased family member lost a property and the estate was never fully settled. Those funds may still be recoverable.
LLCs, corporations, and other business entities that lost property to foreclosure or tax sale may also be entitled to surplus funds. We handle entity claims too.
This is not a scam. It is a legitimate, state-authorized process. Here's exactly where it's written into Arkansas law.
Under Arkansas law, when a property is sold at a tax sale for an amount exceeding the total taxes, penalties, interest, and costs owed, the surplus funds belong to the former property owner — not the county, not the state. These funds are held by the county and must be claimed within a statutory period, or they are forfeited.
When a property is sold through a judicial foreclosure and the sale proceeds exceed the mortgage balance plus fees, the excess proceeds are legally owed to the former homeowner. These surplus funds are deposited with the court and are available for claim by the rightful owner or their heirs.

Everything you need to know about surplus funds and how the recovery process works.
Surplus funds (also called excess proceeds) are the money left over after a property is sold at a foreclosure or tax sale. For example, if a home is sold at auction for $150,000 but you only owed $110,000, the remaining $40,000 belongs to you — not the county or the bank.
The former property owner is first in line to claim surplus funds. If the owner is deceased, legal heirs and estate representatives may file a claim. In some cases, other lienholders with valid recorded interests may also have a claim — but after the mortgage and taxes are satisfied, the remainder belongs to the former owner or their heirs.
Yes — and this is critical. Every state has a statutory deadline for claiming surplus funds. If no claim is filed in time, the funds are forfeited to the state through a process called escheatment. That's why we move fast the moment we identify a potential claim.
Nothing upfront — ever. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid when you get paid. Our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of the funds we recover for you. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing.
No — we operate nationwide. Every state in the U.S. has a surplus funds statute, which means wherever your property was sold, there may be funds owed to you. We are headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, but we recover funds for clients across the entire country.
Heirs and family members can still recover surplus funds from a deceased owner's property. We assist with estate-based claims and work with the appropriate legal channels to ensure the funds reach the rightful heirs. Contact us and we'll walk you through the process.
Surplus funds are generally considered taxable income. We recommend consulting with a tax professional once your funds are recovered to understand any tax implications specific to your situation.
Surplus fund recovery is a legitimate, state-authorized process written directly into Arkansas law (and the laws of every other state). We never ask for money upfront, we are transparent about our process, and we work alongside licensed attorneys. You can always contact your county clerk directly to verify that surplus funds exist before signing anything with us.
