DeKalb County Excess Funds Recovery Attorney
Excess Funds in DeKalb County? Get What’s Yours.
When a property is sold at foreclosure or tax sale in DeKalb County, it sometimes brings in more money than what’s owed on the mortgage or taxes. That leftover money? It doesn’t go to the bank or the county.
It belongs to the former owner or lienholder.
But it doesn’t just fall into your lap. You’ve got to know how to ask — and who to ask.
That’s where we come in. The experienced DeKalb County excess funds lawyer at Evans Law can help you find the silver lining after a tax sale or foreclosure.
What Are Excess Funds?
Let’s say your DeKalb County home is foreclosed on because you owe $120,000. At the auction, it sells for $160,000.
- The lender gets paid what they’re owed: $120,000
- The leftover $40,000 is excess funds
- Those funds belong to you, the former owner
The same goes for tax sales. If the county sells your property to recover $5,000 in back taxes and it brings in $25,000? That’s $20,000 potentially heading your way.
Evans Law Fights to Get It Back for You
Recovering excess funds is a niche area of the law, and it’s a niche area our firm excels at. We help people all across DeKalb County claim the money that’s rightfully theirs after a foreclosure or tax sale.
It’s not automatic. The process is legal and bureaucratic — and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you could:
- Miss the deadline
- File with the wrong party
- End up with nothing
We handle it all for you. Fast. Clean. Done right.
Who We Help
We represent:
- Homeowners who’ve lost their property to foreclosure
- Heirs of deceased property owners who didn’t even know money was left behind
- Investors who bought tax liens and are owed surplus proceeds
- Businesses or LLCs whose property was sold at a tax sale
If you, your company, or someone in your family owned the property before it sold, we’ll check to see if funds are available.
What We Do
Evans Law handles the full process from start to finish:
- Investigate the foreclosure or tax sale
- Track down the amount of surplus funds available
- Determine who has a valid claim to the money
- File the proper motions or petitions with the court
- Represent you at any required hearings
- Handle disputes with other potential claimants
- Get your funds released as quickly as possible
We’ve recovered for clients in DeKalb and across metro Atlanta, and we don’t back down when things get complicated.
Is There a Time Limit?
Yes — and it’s not always clear. Depending on the type of sale, you may only have a short window to file a claim. Waiting too long could mean the money gets:
- Claimed by someone else
- Seized by the state or county
- Lost to the system entirely
Don’t wait. Even if the sale happened a while ago, we may still be able to help.
Can I Find Out If I’m Owed Money?
Yes. We’ll do a free check. Just send us:
- The address of the property
- Your name (or your business name, if applicable)
- The approximate date of the foreclosure or tax sale
We’ll research the sale, find out if excess funds were generated, and tell you if you have a valid claim. No charge for the check. No pressure.
