Surplus Funds / Foreclosures / Tax Deed Sales

When a sheriff’s auction or tax deed auction ​occurs, there is sometimes leftover cash after the ​bank has received their money. The leftover funds ​may belong to the former homeowner. However, ​this is sometimes not reported directly to the ​homeowner, and that cash is left in the hands of ​the state.

What My Clients Say

Summery

The U.S. has billions of dollars in unclaimed property

Approximately 1 in 7 people do! There are literally billions of dollars in unclaimed property, held by ​state governments and treasuries within the United States.

What exactly is unclaimed property?

Unclaimed or “abandoned” property refers to property or accounts within financial institutions or ​companies—in which there has been no activity generated (or contact with the owner) regarding the property ​for one year or a longer period.

When does property become "unclaimed"?

After a designated period of time (called the dormancy period) with no activity or contact, the property ​becomes “unclaimed” and—by law—must be turned over to the state.

Types of unclaimed property

Unclaimed property can be intangible, which is the most common (ex. uncashed paychecks, stocks), or ​tangible (ex. safe deposit box contents). Some of the common forms of unclaimed property include:

• Checking or savings accounts
  
• Stocks
  
• Uncashed dividends or payroll checks
  
• Refunds
  
• Traveler’s checks
  
• Trust distributions
  
• Unredeemed money orders or gift certificates (in some states)
  
• Certificates of deposit
  
• Customer overpayments
  
• Utility security deposits
  
• Mineral royalty payments
  
• Contents of safe deposit boxes
  
• Insurance payments or refunds and life insurance policies
  
• Annuities
  

FAQ

Q: What is the “mission”?

A: The “mission” is to recover your funds for you.

Q: Are there any hidden attorney fees or costs when choosing Excess Returns Group LLC to recover my surplus funds?

A: There are never any hidden attorney fees or costs associated with the recovery process with Excess Returns Group ​LLC. Many companies will in fact have you pay back any legal fees and expenses they paid out during the recovery ​process and will deduct those fees from your portion of the surplus funds without advising you upfront. Our recovery ​agreement does not include any hidden fees whatsoever. We cover all costs incurred by the recovery process at our ​expense and only get paid if we are successful in recovering your funds. Our contingency fee includes any and all legal ​fees and expenses and does not come from your portion of the surplus or unclaimed funds.

Q: Do I need to personally appear in court?

A: In almost all cases you will not have to appear in court when choosing Mission Recoveries LLC. Our trusted counsel we ​retain at our own expense will attend any and all required hearings on your behalf. This helps our clients who live out of ​the state and country still collect their unclaimed and surplus funds without all the additional hassle of travel ​arrangements or taking time off of work.

Q: Why choose Excess Returns Group LLC?

A: Mission Recoveries is dedicated to providing exemplary service with extreme attention to detail.

Our ​team is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that recovering your funds goes as swiftly and efficiently as possible.

Q: How do you know the money goes to me?

A: We will need to research the chain of ownership of the asset to make sure you did not unwillingly sell or sign away your ​rights to it somehow.

Q: What are the chances that you will be able to recover the money?

A: If the money is yours, we will get it for you. Our team has successfully recovered over two million dollars. We take pride ​in reuniting our clients with their lost assets. Detect. Collect. Connect. That’s our motto!

Q: What will you need to recover the money?

A: To be 100% sure, we need to do some digging. Depending on your individual case, there may be contracts we need to ​find, court documents to track down, deeds to order, photo identification to copy, wills to locate, title searches to hire out, ​investigators to send out, or trips to government offices to make.

Q: What does it cost me?

A: Nothing. We work strictly on a contingency fee basis, charging only a percentage of what we are able to recover on your ​behalf. We will not be paid unless you are paid. If we recover nothing, then you pay nothing.

Q: How will I be paid?

A: Once the asset recovery process is complete, you will receive a check from us in the mail. It’s as simple as that.
