Below are some of the most common questions we receive about surplus fund recovery. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us and our team will be happy to help.
How do I know if I have unclaimed funds?
Many people don’t realize funds exist in their name. Our search process helps identify potential matches quickly.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by state and agency, but most claims take several weeks to a few months.
Do I need to handle paperwork myself?
No — KLG Refund Law assists with the preparation and guidance throughout the process.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. We maintain strict privacy and data protection standards.
What types of funds can be recovered?
Surplus funds, tax sale overages, unclaimed government funds, and certain estate-related funds.
What documents will I need to provide to claim my assets?
Required documents vary by claim type and state but typically include a valid ID, proof of ownership or relationship to the property, and signed authorization forms. If the owner is deceased, additional estate or heir documentation may be required. Our team will guide you step by step.
Can you guarantee that you’ll find unclaimed assets for me?
No asset recovery firm can guarantee results. However, we only pursue cases where our research indicates a strong likelihood of recoverable funds. If no funds are recovered, you owe nothing.
What happens after you find my unclaimed assets?
Once assets are confirmed, we prepare and submit all required claim documentation to the appropriate government agency and manage the entire process until completion, including follow-ups and corrections if needed.
What are foreclosure or tax deed surplus funds?
These are excess funds left over after a property is sold at foreclosure or tax deed auction and all debts, liens, and fees have been paid. By law, these funds belong to the former property owner or their heirs.
How long do I have to claim inheritance or surplus funds?
Deadlines vary by state and agency. Some claims must be filed within months, while others allow several years. Missing the deadline can result in permanent forfeiture of the funds, which is why timely action is critical.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
In most cases, our fee is paid only if we collect money for you, and it is a percentage of what we collect.
