ABOUT US

In recent years, many homeowners have faced foreclosure due to circumstances largely outside their control — including unexpected job loss, illness, death in the family, divorce, and the rising cost of taxes, insurance, and everyday living.

What most people don’t realize is that when a foreclosed property sells for more than what was owed, the extra funds legally belong to the former homeowner. These surplus funds are frequently left unclaimed because the process is confusing, time-sensitive, and rarely explained clearly. Lucky 13 Surplus Recovery exists to help fix that.

Our team has recovered millions of dollars in surplus funds and brings over 50 years of combined experience in funds recovery. We handle the research, paperwork, and filing process so former homeowners don’t have to navigate a complex system on their own. We work on a success-based model — meaning we only get paid if funds are successfully recovered.

Most importantly, we understand that these funds are more than just money. For many families, they provide relief, stability, and a chance to reset. Our mission is to help people reclaim what is rightfully theirs so they can begin the next chapter of their life with dignity and confidence.

// Common Questions

FAQs

What are surplus funds?

Surplus funds are the remaining proceeds from a foreclosure or tax sale after all debts, liens, and fees have been paid. In many cases, this money is owed to the former property owner or other eligible parties, but it often goes unclaimed.

How do I know if I’m owed money?

Surplus funds are not automatically distributed in most jurisdictions. We research court records and sale data to determine whether funds exist and whether you are legally entitled to claim them.

Why wasn’t I notified?

Counties and courts are not required to track people down. Notices are often sent to outdated addresses or published in legal notices that most people never see.

Is this money guaranteed?

No legitimate firm can guarantee recovery. Eligibility depends on ownership history, lien priority, and court approval. We review each case before proceeding and explain what is realistically possible.

Why not file on my own?

You can file on your own. Many people do. The challenge is understanding court procedures, deadlines, lien hierarchy, and required documentation. Mistakes or missed filings often result in denial or long delays.

How long does it take?

Timelines vary by county and court. Some cases resolve in a few months, others take longer due to objections, backlogs, or required hearings. We provide updates as the case progresses.

What does it cost?

Fees are contingency-based in most cases, meaning we only get paid if funds are successfully recovered. The exact percentage is disclosed upfront before you sign anything.

Do I pay anything upfront?

No upfront fees for recovery work. If costs are required by the court, those are explained in advance. We shoulder the risk.

What if there are multiple claims?

Courts determine priority based on law. This can include former owners, heirs, lienholders, or other interested parties. We prepare and submit the proper filings to assert your claim.

Can heirs claim surplus funds?

Yes, in many cases. Heirs may need to provide additional documentation such as death certificates, probate records, or affidavits. We guide you through what is required.

What if I ignore the claim?

Funds may remain with the county for a limited period before being transferred elsewhere or absorbed under state rules (escheatment). Once deadlines pass, recovery may no longer be possible.

Is this a scam?

Surplus funds are real, but scams do exist. A legitimate firm will never ask for upfront recovery fees, will explain the process clearly, and will encourage you to verify court records independently.

Will this affect my credit?

Recovering surplus funds does not affect your credit. Tax treatment depends on your individual situation, and we recommend consulting a tax professional if you have questions.

What do you need to start?

Typically identification, proof of interest in the property, and signed authorization forms. We handle the court filings and procedural steps from there.
