Henry County Excess Funds Recovery Attorney
Helping Homeowners and Property Owners Claim What’s Rightfully Theirs
Did your home sell at a foreclosure auction for more than you owed on your mortgage? Was your company’s property sold at a Henry County tax sale — and did it bring in more than the taxes and fees that were due?
If so, you may be entitled to claim the surplus — also known as excess funds — from the sale. But Georgia law sets strict rules and tight deadlines for making a claim. If you don’t act fast and correctly, you could lose money that’s rightfully yours.
At Evans Law, we help homeowners, property owners, and businesses in Henry County recover excess funds after foreclosure and tax sales. Our Henry County excess funds recovery attorney understands how to cut through red tape, respond to challenges, and secure the money you deserve.
What Are Excess Funds?
When a home or piece of real estate is sold at a foreclosure or tax sale, the winning bid often exceeds the amount owed on the mortgage or delinquent taxes. That overage is called “excess funds” or “surplus funds.”
In Georgia, those funds don’t go to the lender or government — they belong to the person or entity that owned the property at the time of the sale.
You may be entitled to excess funds if:
- Your home was foreclosed but sold for more than the balance due
- Your business property was sold in a tax sale and there was money left after the taxes and fees were paid
- You inherited a property that was lost to foreclosure or tax sale
- You were the record title owner when the property was sold
Why You Need an Attorney to Recover Excess Funds
Excess funds recovery is not automatic. The process involves:
- Knowing whether you are legally entitled to the funds
- Filing the correct paperwork in a timely manner
- Responding to potential challenges or competing claims
- Going to court, in some cases, to establish your right to the funds
There are also bad actors who scour public records and try to scam or confuse rightful claimants. Don’t risk being taken advantage of or losing your funds due to a misstep.
Evans Law handles the entire process for you — from claim preparation to resolution — and ensures your rights are protected every step of the way.
Common Issues in Henry County Excess Funds Claims
Every case is different, but these are some of the most common problems we help our clients solve:
- Multiple claims to the same funds, such as from junior lienholders or heirs
- Lack of documentation to prove ownership at the time of sale
- Missed deadlines for filing a claim
- Clerical errors or confusion over who is entitled to the funds
- Disputes over how the surplus should be distributed among interested parties
Attorney Andrew Evans is a creative problem-solver and skilled litigator who understands how to tackle these issues and win real results. His methods have recovered millions of dollars for clients — not just paper judgments, but actual money in hand.
Excess Funds After Foreclosure
If your Henry County home was foreclosed and sold for more than the total debt owed (including principal, interest, and fees), you may be able to recover the surplus. These claims are typically handled through the court in the county where the sale occurred.
Evans Law will:
- Review the foreclosure records
- Identify the sale price and the outstanding debt
- File a claim for excess funds
- Defend your rights against other claimants
- Petition the court for disbursement when necessary
Excess Funds After Tax Sales
Georgia tax sales can also result in excess funds — especially in cases where investors bid aggressively. Property owners are entitled to surplus proceeds after all taxes, penalties, and fees have been satisfied.
However, claiming these funds may involve:
- Verifying your ownership at the time of the sale
- Filing a claim with the Henry County tax commissioner or court
- Waiting out the one-year redemption period (in some cases)
- Litigating disputes over the right to the surplus
Evans Law handles these complex steps so you don’t have to.
