Cobb County Excess Funds Attorney

You lost the property. But you might still be owed money.

After a foreclosure or tax sale, the winning bid sometimes goes way over what was actually owed. That leftover money? It’s called excess funds — and it should go to you.

Problem is, most people don’t know the money’s there. And if you wait too long, it might disappear.

That’s where Evans Law comes in. We are experts at getting that money back. Contact our Cobb County excess funds attorney today.

What Are Excess Funds?

Let’s say your home is sold at foreclosure for $180,000, but you only owed $100,000 on the mortgage. That means there’s $80,000 left over.

That money doesn’t go to the bank.
It doesn’t go to the buyer.
It goes to you.

Same thing if a company loses property at a tax sale for unpaid taxes. If the bid is higher than the tax debt, those extra funds are claimable.

Who Can Claim Excess Funds?

You can — if you act fast.

The people who may be eligible include:

  • Homeowners who lost property to foreclosure
  • Businesses that lost property to a tax sale
  • Heirs of deceased property owners
  • Other lienholders (second mortgages, judgments, etc.)

We help figure out who’s first in line — and how to prove it.

What Can Go Wrong? A Lot.

Claiming excess funds isn’t automatic. Cobb County doesn’t just mail out checks.

You have to:

  • File a petition with the court
  • Notify other potential claimants
  • Prove you’re entitled to the money
  • Sometimes go to a hearing and argue your case
  • Respond to objections from banks or creditors

If you don’t know what you’re doing, your claim could get denied — or someone else could get the money instead.

We’ve seen people lose tens of thousands of dollars because they waited too long or made a simple mistake.

Don’t Get Scammed

There are people out there who will call and say they can help you get your money — for a big cut.

Some are shady. Some are fake. Some will have you sign something that gives away your whole claim.

Evans Law is a real law firm, bound by ethical rules and bound to know the law. We don’t play games. You get:

  • Straight talk
  • Fair fees
  • Real legal protection

And we don’t get paid unless you do.

We Handle It All

Whether the money came from:

  • A foreclosure sale
  • A tax sale
  • A sheriff’s sale
  • A partition sale
  • A surplus from a mortgage payoff

We’ll chase it down, file your claim, and fight for every dime.

Already Got a Letter from the Court or County?

Don’t ignore it. That’s a sign funds are available. But you’ll need to move quickly.

The longer you wait:

  • The more time others have to claim it
  • The more likely the court could release it to someone else
  • The closer you get to losing it forever
