Excess proceeds

At our firm, we specialize in helping homeowners navigate the often complex process of recovering excess proceeds from foreclosure sales. Excess proceeds, or surplus funds, arise when a foreclosed home sells for more than the outstanding balance of the mortgage. This surplus is rightfully the property of the foreclosed homeowner, not the mortgage company or new owner. However, accessing these funds often requires expert knowledge of local laws and meticulous navigation through bureaucratic processes. Our dedicated team works relentlessly to simplify this process and maximize the financial recovery for our clients, ensuring that they obtain every cent they're entitled to after a foreclosure. Trust us to be your advocates in these challenging circumstances and to guide you towards a brighter financial future.

County records

Our firm takes pride in conducting thorough and accurate research to ascertain who is entitled to excess proceeds after foreclosure. We go straight to the source, acquiring court records directly from the county. This data, derived from the most reliable and official records, provides a clear and unambiguous picture of rightful ownership. Our team of legal professionals carefully scrutinizes these documents to establish an ironclad claim for our clients. This meticulous attention to detail, backed by an unwavering commitment to our clients' rights, ensures that the rightful owners receive the funds they are due. Trust us to navigate this intricate process with the utmost precision and integrity.

Reuniting funds

Our core mission is reuniting previous homeowners or their heirs with the funds that are rightfully theirs. We understand that the aftermath of a foreclosure can be a distressing and confusing time, so we strive to alleviate this stress by guiding our clients through the process with clarity and compassion. We do not charge any upfront fees - our aim is to serve as your trustworthy partners, assisting with the filing and retrieval process from start to finish. We work on a contingency basis, which means we only get paid when you successfully recover your funds. Our firm is built on the principles of fairness and integrity, and we're committed to reestablishing financial equilibrium for those affected by foreclosure.

No Upfront Fees !

At Magic City Claims, I believe in offering professional, reliable services without ANY financial burden to my clients. I operate on contingency, meaning I only receive payment if I'm successful in recovering unclaimed funds on your behalf. This approach ensures that MY interests are aligned with YOUR interests! My team of licensed attorneys and I possess the expertise needed to handle all legal aspects of the process. This allows our clients to have peace of mind, knowing that their claim is being handled by professionals who will navigate any legal complexities on their behalf.

What Happens After Foreclosure?

After a Tax Deed or Mortgage foreclosure, the county will auction off the foreclosed property. The opening bid is for the unpaid tax/mortgage amount. These properties often sell for an amount that is higher than the opening bid. Any excess funds remaining are legally entitled to the previous owner. So, why didn't you know about the excess money? Because the county mails surplus notification letters to the last address on record, which is the foreclosed property, so the previous owner rarely gets informed! They have no incentive to find you. I work hand in hand with the county and I can assist you in recovering these funds. The beauty of working with me is that I charge NO upfront fees and I only get paid a finder's fee upon a successful claim, so you bear no risk at all!

Unclaimed State Funds

Believe it or not, many people have unclaimed funds that are due to them and they don't even know it! When bank accounts, uncashed checks, money orders, insurance policies, stocks, bonds, trust funds, etc., go unclaimed, they end up in the state's Treasury Department. Financial institutions are required to do an annual report to the state's Treasury and after a few years of failed communication with potential owners or heirs, these institutions turn the funds over to the state. That's where I step in! I work hand in hand with the state and I will assist you in filing the claim to recover these funds. Again, NO upfront fees and I handle all of the filings for you. I get excited every time my clients get paid out, not only because I get a finder's fee but because I know their lives are changed!
