At Capitalis Acquisitum, our Surplus Funds Recovery service is your reliable ally in the journey to reclaiming the funds that are rightfully yours after a foreclosure or tax sale. Surplus funds, also known as excess proceeds, represent the financial assets that are rightfully owed to former property owners when a property is sold for an amount exceeding the outstanding debt. Sadly, many counties provide minimal guidance on this issue, resulting in millions of dollars remaining unclaimed each year, which is an often-overlooked financial opportunity. Funds can range from hundreds to more than $100,000.
Here’s what sets us apart:
-
All surplus amounts come directly from public county records. You can verify them yourself.
-
We never charge upfront fees. We only get paid after you do.
-
We provide the case number, clerk reports, and sale documents for your review.
-
We work alongside licensed attorneys when required by state law.
-
We give you full clarity before, during, and after the process.
Our dedicated team of asset recovery experts will conduct a thorough review of your foreclosure or tax sale records to ascertain if the recovery of unclaimed funds are available in your name, and we will expertly guide you through a streamlined asset recovery process designed to alleviate confusion and reduce stress while ensuring meticulous accuracy.

What Are Surplus Funds?
When a property is sold at foreclosure, the auction may generate more money than what was owed on the mortgage, taxes, or HOA fees.
Example:
-
Judgment Amount: $80,000
-
Winning Bid: $130,000
-
Surplus Funds: $50,000 (Money owed to the homeowner)
Why Many Homeowners Never Claim It
-
They were never notified
-
Notices went to an old address
-
They didn’t know what surplus means
-
They thought the bank kept the money
-
They feared scams
-
They didn’t know where to start
Who Gets the Surplus?
-
The homeowner (first priority)
-
Then subordinate lienholders
-
Then heirs if the owner is deceased
Neither the lender nor the county can keep the money.

How It Works
What Are Surplus Funds?
When a property is sold at foreclosure or tax sale, it often sells for more than the amount owed on the mortgage or taxes.
This extra amount is called surplus funds or excess proceeds — and by law, it belongs to the homeowner.
But counties do not always notify owners clearly.
We make sure you get the money that is rightfully yours.
