We are a dedicated family business with a deep commitment to helping other families.

To date, we have reunited over thirty million dollars in foreclosure surplus funds with more than 3,000 families and individuals. We pride ourselves on delivering the best service at competitive rates, with full transparency in all our processes.

Our legal team manages every aspect of surplus recovery for you, ensuring you get the best service at the lowest rate to maximize your return.

Contact us to ensure you get the lowest rate and the most money back from your equity.
CAUTION: Watch Out for Hidden Fees
Be on the lookout for companies that don’t clearly disclose their attorney’s fees or other costs upfront.
The Warning Signs: terms like:
- “Advanced Fees & Costs,”
- “Reimburse Fees & Costs,”
- or “plus attorney’s fees and costs” can hide excessive charges.
We are committed to transparency to protect you from such practices. Our goal is to help you recover the maximum funds with our foreclosure solutions and refund services.
Staying Informed
We provide regular updates via email every month, keeping you informed about the progress of your foreclosure assistance and surplus recovery. We’re also available by phone, and we promise to return any missed calls within 24 hours.
What to Expect
Typically, the process takes 3-6 months due to state laws and statutes that allow time for lien holders or judgement creditors to file claims. Some cases may require a hearing, especially if there are multiple claims on the surplus funds.
Clear Communication
We encourage you to ask questions and share any concerns you might have. Our aim is to give you a complete understanding of the surplus recovery process so you can make the best decision for your family. Awareness is key, as some companies charge outrageous rates between 25%-66%. We’ve helped hundreds of families escape high-fee contracts, saving them thousands of dollars.

That’s a simple answer; the funds will stay (in many cases) in a non – interest-bearing account and in essence will remain unclaimed. Worst of all though, depending on what State Authority holds the funds, (each is different), after a certain period the unclaimed funds could be absorbed into the endless pit of ‘consolidated Government Revenue’.
Every day, people and businesses leave cash in financial institutions, insurance companies, and with government authorities – only to forget the money. As crazy as it sounds, it happens constantly. Usually, the unclaimed funds are lost due to forgetfulness, neglect, or other reasons such as life changes, new career endeavours.
We have contacted you as we believe that you have unclaimed monies owing to you or your organization, and we need to confirm that you are the rightful owner of these funds.
So What Happens To Unclaimed Money?
When a person or company “forgets” about money in various accounts, the lost money is transferred to (in many cases) a non-interest-bearing Government Trust Account. Of course, this is only done when the Financial Institution cannot locate the owner. When the lost monies are not claimed within a specific period of time, the transfer occurs, and the funds become Government Revenue. Sometimes, even the rightful owners of the unclaimed funds are not aware that only a specific period of time exists to grab their unclaimed funds. Imagine that !!
The Problem – To locate all the money that you could be entitled to be not as easy as you think. It can be a minefield.
Why?
On a National basis, each State can have a variety of institutions responsible for unclaimed monies; and on a State by State basis each individual State has its own unclaimed money laws (Acts). Just to make it a bigger minefield, there can be numerous organizations responsible for lost monies unique to that State (with their own set of individual claiming rules and procedures). It can and does become a difficult process to navigate. Confused? Understandably so, and that’s where ‘The Lost Money Detectives’ can help you!

as a safety measure, upon the release of your funds, in most cases, you are also sent a notice by the Government releasing authority. This notice will give details of the total funds being released to us as your Agent. This is another measure to help keep the whole recovery process transparent.
- In most cases you will be paid directly by the Government body, we then invoice you for our agreed fees.
At the Lost Money Detectives, it is our responsibility to locate the rightful owners and reunite them with their lost funds. We make the initial due diligence to ensure that we are dealing with the rightful owners and then prepare a water-tight claim to recover their monies. We liaise with the various holding authorities to ensure the full release of all monies outstanding. Once the funds are released, we forward the recovered monies from receiving all the correct claim documentation.
