Gwinnett County Excess Funds Attorney
Recover What’s Rightfully Yours After a Foreclosure or Tax Sale
When a property is sold at foreclosure or tax sale for more than what’s owed, the extra money — known as excess funds or surplus funds — doesn’t belong to the bank, the government, or the buyer. It belongs to you.
At Evans Law, we help homeowners, heirs, investors, and businesses claim and recover excess funds in Gwinnett County. If your property was foreclosed on or sold at a tax sale and it brought in more than the outstanding debt, you may be legally entitled to the remaining balance.
We know how to find the funds, file the proper petitions, and overcome the legal obstacles that often trip up claimants. Don’t leave thousands — or tens of thousands — of dollars on the table. Contact Evans Law for a free consultation with an experienced and successful Gwinnett County excess funds attorney. Let us help you get what you’re owed.
What Are Excess Funds?
Excess funds result when a foreclosure sale or tax sale brings in more than the total debt owed, including principal, interest, fees, and other allowable costs. The leftover money — often held by the court or county — must be distributed to:
- The former property owner,
- Any lienholders, or
- Their legal heirs or successors.
Unfortunately, the process for claiming these funds is not automatic — and without taking legal action, you may never see a dime.

Why You Need an Attorney to Recover Excess Funds
The process for claiming excess funds in Georgia can be surprisingly complicated. Courts require you to file a petition, serve notice on interested parties, and prove your legal entitlement to the money. Common issues that arise include:
- Competing claims from other creditors or lienholders
- Disputes over legal title or chain of ownership
- Confusion caused by the death of the property owner
- Denials due to procedural missteps or incomplete filings
Evans Law has the experience and legal knowledge to navigate this process effectively, removing red tape and resolving disputes that stand between you and your money.
Timing Is Everything
There’s no time limit for claiming excess funds in Georgia — but the longer you wait, the more complicated the situation can become. Others may file claims, estates may need to be opened, or the money may become harder to trace.
If your property was foreclosed on or sold at a tax sale in Gwinnett County, contact Evans Law as soon as possible to see if excess funds are available.
How Much Money Could Be Waiting for You?
It’s not uncommon for excess funds to total tens of thousands of dollars — sometimes even more. Examples of excess funds situations include:
- A property was sold for $300,000 with only $200,000 owed, leaving $100,000 in excess funds.
- An estate unknowingly left behind surplus funds that were never claimed.
- A second mortgage lender collected after the primary lender was paid in full.
Evans Law has helped clients recover thousands in actual collected funds — not just judgments. If you’re entitled to money, we make sure you actually get it.
