Free Surplus Funds Claim Review

Find Out If You May Have Surplus Funds

If a North Carolina property you owned was sold at foreclosure for more than the amount owed, there may be surplus funds waiting with the Clerk of Superior Court.

The same may be true if the property belonged to a deceased parent, spouse, or other relative.

Our free claim review is designed to help determine whether surplus funds appear to exist, whether you may have a right to claim them, and what steps may be required next.

What We Review

We may be able to help determine:

  • whether a foreclosure surplus exists;

  • approximately how much may be available;

  • whether you appear entitled to the funds;

  • whether liens or other claims may affect the amount;

  • whether an estate may need to be opened for a deceased owner; and

  • what the next step in the claim process may be.

There is no cost to request a claim review and no obligation to hire our firm.

What Happens After You Submit Your Claim Review?

After you submit your information, our team will review the details you provide and determine whether additional information is needed to evaluate the potential claim.

Depending on the situation, that may include reviewing the foreclosure sale, ownership records, liens, estate information, or the court file in the county where the property was sold.

If it appears that surplus funds may be available, we can explain the next steps and whether legal assistance may be helpful.
