Excess Proceeds

Aligned Acquisitions assists residential and commercial property owners in identifying and recovering unclaimed funds generated through county tax sales and mortgage foreclosures.

What Are Excess Proceeds?

When properties are sold through county tax sales, the sale price often exceeds the amount owed in taxes and fees. Similarly, when properties are sold at foreclosure auctions, the sale price tends to exceed the amount owed in outstanding lien balances.

The remaining funds, known as excess proceeds or surplus funds, legally belong to the former property owner or other eligible claimants.

Many individuals are unaware these funds exist due to lapses in communication with the county and clerk of courts, and never complete the claims process.

We assist in identifying and recovering these funds for previous property owners.
