Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear, straightforward answers regarding our asset recovery process, contingency fees, and public record research.

1. Are there any upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs?

No. Overage Pros operates on a strict contingency basis. We cover all expenses related to research, skip tracing, and document preparation. You never pay anything out of pocket; we are only paid a percentage if we successfully recover your funds.

2. How do surplus funds occur?

When a property is sold at a mortgage foreclosure auction or a county tax deed sale for more than the total amount of delinquent taxes, liens, and legal costs owed, the remaining balance is designated as surplus or overage funds.

3. Why don't government agencies notify people directly?

While agencies may send initial notices, they are typically mailed to the address of the property that was just sold. If you have relocated or if notices are returned undelivered, government offices do not actively investigate or track down former owners across other states or municipalities.

4. How long does the recovery process take?

Timelines vary depending on the holding agency, court dockets, and specific jurisdiction requirements. Some straightforward claims can be resolved in a few weeks, while claims involving court review or estate probate can take longer. We keep you informed at every step of the process.

5. Is Overage Pros a law firm?

No. Overage Pros is a private asset recovery and investigative research firm. We do not provide legal representation or legal advice. Our role is strictly focused on public record auditing, locating entitled parties, and assisting with administrative claim filings.
