Surplus Claim Preparation & Filing Assistance

Most surplus claims fail on paperwork, not on merit — a missing notarization, the wrong form, an ID that does not match the deed, a deadline read incorrectly. This service is the disciplined handling of all of it.

You get a single point of contact, a clear list of what is needed, and visibility into where the claim stands at every stage through your secure client portal.

Who this is for

  • Claimants who have confirmed surplus and want it filed correctly
  • Heirs and co-owners juggling multiple signatures and documents
  • Anyone whose earlier claim was rejected or returned

What we do

  • Order and assemble the required records and case documents
  • Prepare the claim forms and supporting affidavits for that jurisdiction
  • Coordinate signatures, notarization and identity verification
  • File with the correct office and track every requirement and response
  • Follow the claim through review, any hearing and final disbursement

What we typically need from you

  • Government photo ID for every claimant
  • Ownership proof matching the name on title
  • Any prior correspondence, rejections or partial filings

Important to know

  • Every step is subject to the rules and timelines of the jurisdiction holding the funds.
  • We are a claims recovery service, not a law firm. Where counsel is required, we associate a local attorney.

Free records search. No upfront fees — our fee is deducted only if and when funds are successfully recovered. Rules, eligibility and deadlines are set by each state and county.

Who may claim, how long they have and which office holds the money changes by state.
