Nationwide mortgage foreclosure surplus research

Your property was sold. Your equity may not be gone.

When a mortgage foreclosure sale produces more than the secured debt, authorized costs, and priority claims, money may remain for a former owner, estate, heir, or another eligible claimant. Claim My Equity accepts initial research requests nationwide and applies state-specific legal gates before engagement or outreach.

Begins only with a signed agreement

A clear, documented process

Research first. Engagement second. Outreach last.

The workflow confirms the sale, identifies the holder, evaluates claimant authority, and blocks automation whenever a state, contract, fee, consent, suppression, or legal requirement is incomplete.

1

Verify the sale

Review foreclosure notices, recorded deeds, court filings, and holder information.

2

Locate possible funds

Contact the trustee, public trustee, clerk, sheriff, court, or other holder and determine whether funds remain.

3

Organize the claim

Use the approved state lane, collect administrative documents, and route legal complexity to licensed counsel.

Nationwide coverage with real controls

All states are built. State activation is earned.

Claim My Equity accepts inbound property checks nationwide. State pages are public, metro pages are automatically noindex until research is logged, and no proactive outreach or fee terms activate without attorney approval.

Who may need help

Former owners, heirs, estates, and entities

Former owners

A person or married couple who held title when the foreclosure occurred.

Heirs and estates

A deceased owner’s personal representative, executor, administrator, or legally established successor.

Trust through transparency

What we will never promise

  • That funds definitely exist
  • That a specific person is legally entitled
  • That a fixed amount will be paid
  • That every case follows the same timeline
  • That one fee or agreement is lawful nationwide
Self-help disclosure: You may contact the trustee, public trustee, clerk, sheriff, court, or other fund holder directly and pursue a claim without hiring us.
Frequently asked questions

Start with the facts

Are you a government agency?

No. We are a private company and are not affiliated with a court, county, lender, trustee, or government office.

Can I contact the holder myself?

Yes. A former owner or eligible successor may contact the trustee, public trustee, clerk, or other holder directly and pursue a claim without hiring us.

Do you guarantee funds exist?

No. A foreclosure notice, equity estimate, or recorded deed does not guarantee a surplus or entitlement. We verify the sale, holder, priority claims, and claimant status before presenting a recovery agreement.

Do you charge upfront?

The current business policy is no upfront service fee for standard recovery matters. State law and the signed agreement control, and attorney review is required before any fee schedule is published.

Are you a law firm?

No. We do not give legal advice or represent claimants in court. Independent licensed attorneys handle probate, interpleader, contested liens, and other legal matters under separate arrangements.

What should I submit online?

Only basic property and contact details. Do not upload Social Security numbers, bank information, government identification, death certificates, or other sensitive documents through the public intake.
