If you or a family member lost a property to foreclosure in Hamilton County—including areas like Noblesville, Fishers, Carmel, or Westfield—you could be entitled to unclaimed surplus funds left over after the sheriff’s sale. These funds are legally yours and arise when the sale price exceeds the debt owed.
Hamilton County does not automatically notify homeowners or heirs of surplus funds. If unclaimed, these funds are eventually transferred to the State of Indiana as unclaimed property. Once that happens, the process to recover funds becomes more difficult and time-sensitive.
Am I eligible for surplus funds?
If your property sold at sheriff sale in Hamilton County and it brought in more than what was owed, you likely qualify. Our team can confirm this for free within 24 hours.
What documents do I need?
We assist with locating and preparing all documents, including proof of ownership, judgment history, and court petitions.
Can I still file if I moved out of state?
Yes. Your location does not impact your right to claim surplus funds. We offer remote services and work with clients nationwide.
Can heirs or family members claim the funds?
Yes. If the original homeowner has passed away, surplus funds can be claimed by rightful heirs with the appropriate documentation (e.g., Affidavit of Heirship).
