Everguard locates and recovers surplus funds left over after a tax sale or foreclosure sale. When a property sells for more than the amount owed, the extra money is legally owed to the former owner or their heirs. We handle the research, documentation, filing, monitoring and follow-up of each claim so families can receive the money they are entitled to.

We work on a contingency basis. That means you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the final claim amount. This fee is governed by the state and is only collected after the county releases your funds. If no funds are recovered, you owe nothing.

The exact amount depends on how much money was left over after the sale. We only contact people when public records show a strong likelihood of a significant surplus. The county confirms the final amount once the claim is filed and approved. Contact us for more information.

Most claims can take anywhere from 30 to 120 days to process. We process claims internally in a very short amount of time. Once we submit the claim to the County, it can take anywhere from 30-120 days. We monitor your claim regularly and keep you updated every step along the way.
