Recovering Your Surplus Funds

If your home has been sold at foreclosure or tax sale, you may still be entitled to money.

When a property sells at foreclosure or a county tax sale, the sale price sometimes exceeds the amount owed. That extra money — called excess funds or surplus funds — often belongs to the homeowner or their heirs. Unfortunately, many people don't know these funds exist, or they miss the strict deadlines required to claim them.

At E. Albert Law, LLC, we help homeowners, heirs, and families recover the funds they are rightfully owed.

Why Work With Our Firm?

We understand that losing a home is never easy. These funds may represent your hard-earned equity, your family's inheritance, or your only financial resource after foreclosure. Our approach combines legal precision with compassion, ensuring your claim is handled with both professionalism and care.

• Experience with Georgia law: We know the rules, statutes, and court procedures that control excess funds.
• Efficiency: We handle the filings, hearings, and communications so you don't have to navigate the process alone.
• Low fees: We keep our fees fair because we believe claimants should keep as much of their money as possible.
• Integrity: We have seen too many companies take advantage of homeowners. Our commitment is to transparency, diligence, and fairness in every case.

What to Expect

1. Intake – Complete our simple online form to share information about your property and situation.
2. Evaluation – We review the details to determine whether you are eligible to claim funds.

Georgia's Lowest Fee Model for Excess Funds

At E. Albert Law, LLC, our mission is simple: clients should keep the majority of their recovery.

Our Unique Low Fee Model

At E. Albert Law, LLC, we believe that homeowners and heirs should keep the majority of their excess funds. That's why we've created one of the most competitive fee structures in Georgia for surplus funds recovery.

• Standard Cases: We charge only 10% for straightforward, non-litigated cases.
• Litigated Cases: For matters requiring court filings, motions, or hearings, our fee is capped at 15%. Even when litigation is necessary, our clients still retain the majority of their recovery.
• Cases with Third-Party Affiliates (TPAs): When clients are introduced to us through a TPA, our fees are even lower to ensure claimants walk away with the largest possible share of their funds.

Contingency Fee – No Recovery, No Fee

Our fees are contingency-based. That means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we successfully recover funds on your behalf. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing. This ensures our goals are fully aligned with yours — maximizing the amount you take home.

Free Case Consultation for Homeowners

At E. Albert Law, LLC, we provide homeowners with a free consultation to review their foreclosure or tax sale case. Our team explains the process, identifies any challenges, and shows you exactly how we can represent you from start to finish.

We handle the filings, communication with the trustee or court, and fight to maximize your recovery — so you don't have to navigate the system alone.
