What are surplus funds?
When a sheriff’s sale brings in more than the total debt, taxes, and fees, the overage is deposited in the Superior Court Trust Fund. Former owners have first claim on every dollar.
Example:
Winning bid — $327,000
Amount owed — $298,400
Surplus available to you — $28,600
Do you qualify?
You may be eligible if any of the following applies:
You owned the property on the day of the sale.
You are an heir or the representative of the former owner’s estate.
You hold a junior mortgage or judgment recorded after the first mortgage.
Not sure? Call (973) 500‑8024 and we’ll sort it out for you.
How soon can you get paid?
We file the required motion within 7 days.
Courts usually schedule a hearing 45–60 days later.
Checks are typically mailed about 21 days after the court order.
Our 25 %‑fee promise
You keep 75 % of every dollar recovered. No retainers, hidden costs, or surprise expenses—ever.
