What Are Surplus Funds?

Most people have never heard of surplus funds — until they discover the court has been holding money in their name. Here's how it happens, in plain language.

Step 01 — The Sale

Foreclosure overages, explained

When a foreclosed home is sold at auction, the sale often brings in more than what was owed on the mortgage and the costs of the sale. That extra money — the foreclosure surplus, sometimes called excess proceeds or an overage — does not belong to the bank. By law, it belongs to the former homeowner.

Step 02 — The Money Sits

Held by the court or county

The surplus doesn't get mailed to you automatically — it sits with the court, sale trustee, or county until someone files a proper claim. The same happens with tax sale surpluses: homeowners are rarely told the money exists, and in many states unclaimed surpluses are eventually absorbed by the government.

Step 03 — Your Claim

Who is legally entitled

The former owner is first in line. If that person has passed away, their heirs or estate can claim the funds. The catch: procedures are technical, deadlines are strict, and courts won't chase you down. That's the gap VaultPoint closes — we locate the funds, verify your right, and handle the entire claim.

A Real-World Example

Home sells at auction $240,000
Mortgage & costs owed $160,000
Surplus held by the court $80,000

That $80,000 belongs to the former homeowner — but only if it's claimed. Check if you have a claim →

Our 4-Step Recovery Process

From first call to funded — here's exactly what happens, and what it costs you at every stage: nothing.

01Typically 1–3 days

Free Records Search

Tell us about the property — that's all we need to start. Our team searches court dockets, county records, foreclosure files, and government databases to confirm whether surplus funds exist in your name, and how much.

What you'll never pay: search fees, "processing" charges, or retainers. The search is free, period.

02Typically 1–2 weeks

Claim Verification & Paperwork

We verify your legal entitlement, gather the documentation the court requires, and prepare every form. Heir claims? We handle the probate coordination too. You review and sign — we do the heavy lifting.

What you'll never pay: document fees or preparation costs. It's all covered by us.

03Typically 30–120 days

Court Filing & Advocacy

We file your claim with the correct court or county office and see it through — responding to requests, coordinating with our attorney network where licensed counsel is required, and keeping you updated at every step.

What you'll never pay: filing fees or legal costs out of pocket. We advance everything.

04Disbursement

You Get Paid

When the court releases the funds, the money goes to you. Our agreed fee comes out of the recovered amount only — you never write us a check, and if we recover nothing, you owe nothing.

What you'll never pay: anything, unless your money is actually recovered.

Questions We Always Answer

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

How does VaultPoint get paid if there's no upfront cost?
We work on a contingency basis. Our fee is a percentage of the funds we recover for you, agreed in writing before we begin. If we don't recover anything, you owe nothing — ever.
How do I know if I have unclaimed surplus funds?
If you lost a property to foreclosure or a tax sale — or you're the heir of someone who did — there's a real chance money was left over from the sale. Our free claim check searches court and county records and tells you exactly what we find, at no cost.
Is this a scam? How can I verify VaultPoint is legitimate?
Healthy skepticism is smart — this industry has bad actors. Here's how we're different: we never ask for money up front, everything is put in writing before you sign, and you can call us directly at (615) 218-5690 with any question. You can also independently verify surplus funds with the court clerk in the county where your property sold.
How long do I have to claim surplus funds?
Deadlines vary by state — some claim windows are only a few years, and unclaimed money can eventually be turned over to the state or county for good. If you think funds may exist, it costs nothing to check now.
How long does the recovery process take?
Timelines vary by case and county, but most claims resolve within 60–180 days. We give you a realistic estimate during your consultation and keep you updated at every stage.
What documents will I need?
Typically a government-issued ID and proof of your connection to the property — like a deed, mortgage statement, or probate documents for heirs. Don't worry if you're missing paperwork; we help you gather what's needed.
Do I need a lawyer to work with VaultPoint?
No. VaultPoint manages the entire process, and where a court filing requires licensed counsel we coordinate with our attorney network at no extra cost to you.
Can I claim funds for a deceased family member?
Yes. Heirs and estate representatives can claim surplus funds that belonged to a loved one. We've guided many families through the probate steps required — you don't have to figure it out alone.
How is your fee taken out?
Our fee is a fixed percentage of the recovered amount, disclosed in writing before we start. It's deducted from the recovery itself when it pays out — you never write us a check.
I received a letter saying I'm owed money. Is it real?
It might be — surplus funds are public record, so several companies may contact you. Compare terms carefully: our consultation is free, our agreement is plain-English, and you're never obligated. We're happy to explain exactly what we found in your records.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Your information is used only to process your claim. It is never sold or shared with third parties, and we treat every case with discretion.

There May Be Money With Your Name On It

Every day you wait is a day unclaimed funds sit in a government account. Our free consultation takes minutes — and costs you nothing.
