Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions we receive about surplus fund recovery. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us and our team will be happy to help.

QB Funds Recovery specializes in identifying and recovering surplus (overage) funds that remain after a foreclosure or tax sale. We locate these funds and help rightful owners, heirs, or estates recover money that legally belongs to them.

When a property is sold at auction, it can sometimes sell for more than the total amount owed on mortgages, liens, taxes, and fees. The remaining balance — called surplus or overage funds — belongs to the former property owner or their heirs. If not claimed within strict legal deadlines, these funds may be forfeited to the government.

We research and audit surplus funds across multiple states and jurisdictions throughout the United States.

Timelines vary by state and agency. In some cases, funds may be released within a few weeks. More complex claims can take up to 60–90 days. We keep you informed throughout the entire process.

Simply contact QB Funds Recovery by phone or email. A representative will review your case, explain the process, and send the required paperwork. Once completed documents are returned, we prepare and submit your claim promptly and manage it through completion.

We use public records, court filings, and professional research methods to identify unclaimed surplus funds and locate the rightful owners or beneficiaries.

Because we work on a contingency basis and do not charge upfront fees, we disclose specific fund details after a recovery agreement is signed. Once that’s complete, we provide full transparency on where the funds are held and the claim amount.

Surplus funds are often not listed on public unclaimed property websites and require precise legal filings, documentation, and follow-ups with government agencies. Many claims are denied due to errors or missed deadlines. Our team handles the entire process to maximize the chances of a successful recovery.

No. We never charge upfront fees. We cover all costs associated with research, filing, and follow-ups. We are only paid if the funds are successfully recovered. If no recovery is made, you owe nothing.

Required documents vary by claim type and state but typically include a valid ID, proof of ownership or relationship to the property, and signed authorization forms. If the owner is deceased, additional estate or heir documentation may be required. Our team will guide you step by step.

No asset recovery firm can guarantee results. However, we only pursue cases where our research indicates a strong likelihood of recoverable funds. If no funds are recovered, you owe nothing.

Once assets are confirmed, we prepare and submit all required claim documentation to the appropriate government agency and manage the entire process until completion, including follow-ups and corrections if needed.

These are excess funds left over after a property is sold at foreclosure or tax deed auction and all debts, liens, and fees have been paid. By law, these funds belong to the former property owner or their heirs.

Deadlines vary by state and agency. Some claims must be filed within months, while others allow several years. Missing the deadline can result in permanent forfeiture of the funds, which is why timely action is critical.

Recovered funds are issued directly by the government agency, typically via check mailed to you or your estate. Payment methods and timelines vary by jurisdiction.
