Are you aware of the hidden funds that could be rightfully yours?

If you’ve ever lost property to a tax foreclosure, it’s possible there’s surplus money waiting for you. In a groundbreaking decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2023, taxpayers now have a stronger footing in reclaiming these overages. Intrigued? Read on to uncover how you can secure your funds before they’re lost to government takeover.

Why Are These Funds Available?
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Tyler v. Hennepin County highlighted a key point: government agencies can’t keep more money than what they’re owed. This means any extra funds generated from a tax foreclosure sale must be returned to the taxpayer. Essentially, if your home is sold to cover unpaid taxes, the leftover proceeds, after debts are cleared, belong to you!

How Did We Find Your Money?
We conduct regular audits of government agencies to identify unclaimed funds due to citizens like you. It’s our mission to ensure that these funds don’t vanish into oblivion through a process called escheatment (meaning: “gov’t keeps it”).

How Can We Help You Claim Your Money?
Upon signing our contingency fee agreement, and 2 or 3 additional pages if needed, we’ll confirm and disclose where your funds are being held and guide you through the claiming process efficiently. Our expertise, techniques, training, tools, and inside knowledge allow us to locate assets not publicly listed online.

Why Not Search on Your Own?
While you’re welcome to search state unclaimed funds websites, the specific overages we inform you about typically aren’t listed there. You could search state unclaimed funds websites, but if you find funds there, these are not the funds we’re informing you about. Without our expertise, tools, and assistance, it’s unlikely you’ll receive notification from the holding agency about these funds.

Urgency: Surplus funds are held only briefly before potentially escheating to the government (meaning: “gov’t keeps your money”).
Prevent Loss: We’re committed to preventing unfair loss of funds to government agencies.

What Is Escheatment?
Escheatment is when unclaimed property reverts to state ownership after a certain period, often without the owner even knowing that the funds ever existed in the first place. This can include overage funds from tax foreclosure sales, among other assets. Meaning: gov’t keeps your money that they have no right to.

How Does Escheatment Affect You?
The concept, dating back to feudal colonial England, can feel like modern-day ‘cheating’, and it kinda is. Without intervention, unclaimed surplus money from your property sale could permanently shift to state control.

What Types of Assets Can Escheat?
Besides overage funds, real estate, bank accounts, and even uncashed paychecks can escheat if left unclaimed.

Understanding State Laws on Escheatment
Although laws vary across states, the general process remains similar nationwide. It’s crucial to act quickly and reclaim what’s rightfully yours, before it’s too late.

Why Is The Supreme Court Ruling Significant for Taxpayers?
The Supreme Court decision on Tyler v. Hennepin County enforces taxpayer rights across America, setting a precedent that ensures fair compensation and opens doors for countless former property owners.

After a Foreclosure Sale – What Happens Next?
Post-sale, any remaining funds settle existing liens and taxes first. Any additional surplus can be claimed by you—the former homeowner—provided you’re aware of it, and know the process and time periods for claiming.

Average Home Values and Tax Foreclosures
Home values across America vary widely by location—from Iowa’s median price of $147K to Washington D.C.’s hefty $1.2 million average. These valuations influence property taxes and subsequent foreclosure sales amounts.

Navigating the Home Value Puzzle
The ever-fluctuating housing market impacts how much excess you might reclaim after foreclosure. Keeping abreast of these changes is essential for understanding potential overage amounts. Housing costs tend to increase every year over year.

Time-Sensitive Opportunity
Surplus claims are Not available indefinitely. Timeliness is critical—ensure you’re informed, trained, and ready to act when opportunities arise.

FAQ:

Does a tax foreclosure affect your credit?

Answer:

No. The three major credit bureaus no longer place tax liens on your credit reports, so a tax lien no longer affects your credit. This includes all kinds of tax liens, by the way.

FAQ:

Why Can’t I Just Do The Claim Myself?

Answer:

If you knew how, then you wouldn’t be here. You need specialized knowledge of tax codes and court procedures. There’s time-consuming research, paperwork, and communication. Mistakes or missed deadlines equals zero success. Knowing you have a claim, and knowing how to find and claim it, are two different things. Each step requires experience.
