The Discovery Process

If you, or a loved one, lost a home or business to foreclosure, you may not be aware of the funds you are potentially entitled to afterward.  At Direct Overage Discovery, we can explain the process and assist you with finding out if there are funds out there for you!

What Usually Happens!

When a homeowner or business owner loses their property because they cannot pay the taxes, that property can go into foreclosure.  As a result, the County where the property is located will hold an auction for the sale of that property; from that sale, the County will collect only the taxes they are due.  

What most people don't know is that when the property sells at the foreclosure auction for an amount over what is due the County, the previous owner is potentially entitled to that overage, which is known as surplus or excess funds.

The County may make an effort to contact you (the previous owner) by sending a notification letter to your last known address following the auction on that property; however, since they usually mail the letter to the address of your former property, and because you may no longer live there, you likely will not receive that notification letter.  As a result, you are unaware of the entire process and what you are potentially entitled to receive.

*  The process is slightly different for mortgage foreclosures; if this is your concern, please contact us for those details.
