Money the Bank Didn't Tell You About

When a lender forecloses on a mortgage and the property sells at auction for more than the total debt owed, the surplus funds legally belong to you — not the bank, not the county.

Most former homeowners never receive these funds because they moved, didn't know the overage existed, or assumed they had no rights after losing the home. That money may still be sitting unclaimed with the foreclosure trustee.

We specialize in finding these funds and recovering every dollar you are legally owed — with no upfront cost and no risk to you.

"I had absolutely no idea I was owed anything after losing my home. I assumed when it was gone, it was gone. Burton Group reached out and within a few months I had over $54,000 back in my hands. I am still in disbelief. If you got a call from them, please listen — I almost didn't."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about mortgage foreclosure surplus funds in Georgia

What are mortgage foreclosure surplus funds?

When a lender forecloses and the home sells at auction for more than the total debt owed (mortgage + fees + costs), the extra money is called surplus or overage funds. Under Georgia law, this surplus generally belongs to the former homeowner — not the bank.

How much does it cost to work with Burton Group Asset Recovery?

Nothing upfront — ever. We work exclusively on a contingency basis. Our fee is only paid if and when we successfully recover funds for you. If we can't recover anything, you owe us absolutely nothing.

How long do I have to claim my funds?

In Georgia, you generally have up to 5 years from the date of the foreclosure sale before funds may be transferred to the state. If you think you may be entitled to funds, it's important to act sooner rather than later.

Can an heir claim funds on behalf of a deceased former owner?

Yes, in many cases. Heirs of former property owners may be entitled to claim surplus funds. This sometimes requires probate documentation. Our attorney partners have experience navigating these situations.

What if there was a second mortgage or other liens on the property?

Other lienholders such as a second mortgage, HELOC, or judgment creditors are paid in order of priority before the former homeowner receives any surplus. We review the full lien history before proceeding so there are no surprises.

Do I need to hire my own attorney?

No. We work with licensed Georgia attorneys who handle the legal filing as part of our process. You don't need to find or separately hire an attorney — everything is included in how we work.
