Who May Qualify

You May Want a Claim Review If...

Property Situations

  • A property you owned went through foreclosure

  • A property connected to you was sold for unpaid taxes

  • You believe the sale produced more money than was owed

Scenario 01

Former Owner Claim

The property was sold, the debt was satisfied, and funds may still be available for the former owner to claim.

Scenario 03

Estate-Related Claim

An estate or personal representative may need to submit documentation before the funds can be released.

Your Connection to the Property

  • You are the former owner

  • You are an heir or family member of a former owner

  • You are acting for an estate or as an authorized representative

Scenario 02

Heir or Family Claim

The former owner has passed away, and a family member may need to prove legal standing to claim the funds.

Scenario 04

Record Mismatch Case

The claimant may qualify but the records are incomplete, outdated, or require extra supporting documents.

Not Every Case Qualifies

Eligibility depends on public records, sale details, legal standing, deadlines, and the rules of the jurisdiction handling the funds. A review helps determine whether a claim appears worth pursuing.
