Dedicated Attorneys Focused on Surplus Funds Recovery
Unlike general practice firms, we've built specific aptitude in helping property owners claim what's rightfully theirs after foreclosure.
How We Became Surplus Funds Specialists
Most law firms rarely handle surplus funds cases. For us, it's a core practice area.
Our work with surplus funds claims began when our probate practice started receiving inquiries from people who needed help claiming surplus funds after their family members lost homes to foreclosure. After successfully recovering funds in several cases, we realized there was a serious gap in the legal market:
Few attorneys manage this area of law.
We expanded our practice to include a dedicated Surplus Funds Claims division because we saw how many former property owners were:
Unaware they had money waiting for them
Targeted by predatory "finders" charging excessive fees
Unable to find attorneys with specific experience in this area
Today, we've helped hundreds of clients across North Carolina recover millions in surplus funds that might otherwise have gone unclaimed.
