Surplus and asset recovery laws vary from state to state. Your rights, deadlines, claim requirements, and the parties entitled to receive funds may depend on where the property or asset is located and what type of funds are being held.
How to Find the Law in Your State
Visit your state's official Legislature or General Assembly website and use the statute search feature.
Search your state name together with one of the following terms:
Foreclosure Surplus Funds
Search: "[Your State] foreclosure surplus funds statute"
Tax Sale / Tax Deed Surplus
Search: "[Your State] tax sale excess proceeds statute"
Unclaimed Property & Escheatment
Search: "[Your State] unclaimed property act statute"
Probate & Estate Assets
Search: "[Your State] probate code unclaimed assets heirs"
Look for Official Government Sources
Whenever possible, rely on websites ending in .gov or your state's official Legislature, General Assembly, judiciary, or court website.
Because laws and procedures can change, always verify that you are reviewing the current version of the statute.
