No Upfront Fees · We Work on Contingency

We help you reclaim funds that already belong to you.

Dawson Resolutions specializes in recovering surplus funds from foreclosure sales, unclaimed state funds, and bankruptcy proceedings — so families get back money they didn't know they were owed.

What We Recover

We work directly with the county to help individuals file claims.

We audit county records and obtain data needed to track and update claim status. We work on contingency – No Upfront costs.

Foreclosure Surplus Recovery

If your home sold for more than what was owed, the difference may be sitting with the county — we help you claim it.

Unclaimed State Funds

States hold billions in unclaimed property. We search, verify, and file on your behalf to get it returned.

Bankruptcy Surplus Funds

Leftover funds from a closed bankruptcy estate don't always make their way back automatically — we track them down.

Eviction Defense Guidance

Facing eviction after a sale? We help connect you with resources and explain your rights and next steps.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about surplus funds and how we can help.

Surplus funds — also called excess proceeds — are the leftover money from a foreclosure sale after the mortgage balance, liens, and related costs have been fully paid. If your property sells for more than what you owed, that remaining amount belongs to you and can be claimed.

If your property was sold at a foreclosure auction and the sale generated funds above what was owed in debts and fees, you may be eligible to claim the surplus. Our team can help assess your eligibility by reviewing the relevant sale details and court records.

  • Confirming your eligibility to claim surplus funds after a foreclosure sale.
  • Collecting the necessary documentation and court records to support your claim.
  • Preparing and submitting the claim to the appropriate county, court, or state office.
  • Monitoring and following up to ensure your claim is processed and resolved.

No — we work on a contingency basis, which means you won't pay anything upfront. We only receive a fee if and when we successfully recover your funds, so there's no financial risk to you.

The time it takes to recover surplus funds can vary based on how complex your case is and how quickly the county processes claims. In many cases, the process takes several weeks to a few months, and in more involved situations it may take longer. Our team works hard to move things along efficiently and keeps you updated at every step.
