If your Georgia property sold at tax sale for more than what was owed, there may be surplus (excess) funds remaining. We help former homeowners determine eligibility and guide the recovery process.
Rights Have Been Lost
The foreclosure deadline was 3/31 and property rights are lost. However, surplus rights can still be protected.
Pre-Auction: Notarize Form
The county requires a notarized form to be submitted months prior to the auction, to declare your future intent to claim.
Post-Auction: Collect Surplus
If money remains after auction, eligible owners may receive the surplus.
Eligibility depends on actual sale records and applicable law
When a Georgia auction property sells for more than the amount owed, the remaining balance may be owed to you.

Many former Georgia homeowners never claim surplus funds. Not because the money isn't there, but because no one told them it was an option, and a legal pathway now exists to recover these funds.
They assume foreclosure ended all rights to any remaining funds
They never knew that court rulings have opened a legal pathway to recover these funds
The court filing process feels confusing or overwhelming
Deadlines and claim requirements are not well-publicized
They do not know who to trust with such a sensitive matter
You are not alone, and there is now a clear legal path forward.
