National Equity Agency works across Ohio to help homeowners and heirs recover surplus funds left over after sheriff sales or tax foreclosures—risk-free, with no upfront cost.
After a foreclosure or tax lien sale in Ohio, properties are often auctioned off for more than the total judgment owed. The remaining funds—called surplus or excess proceeds—are rightfully owed to the former homeowner or their heirs.
At National Equity Agency, we handle the legal paperwork and court filings with your county’s clerk of court to ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to under Ohio law. Whether you’re in Cuyahoga, Franklin, Montgomery, or any other Ohio county—we can help.
Surplus funds (also called overage or excess proceeds) are the extra funds remaining after a foreclosure property sells for more than what’s owed. These funds are held by the Clerk of Courts and may be claimed by the former property owner or legal heirs.
For example, if your Ohio home was auctioned for $150,000 but the total judgment was only $110,000, the remaining $40,000 is surplus—yours to claim.
We search public sheriff sale and court docket records across Ohio to confirm if a surplus exists and whether you are entitled to it.
No. Ohio allows recovery specialists like NEA to assist homeowners and heirs with surplus fund claims legally and professionally—without upfront legal fees.
Yes. Heirs may claim on behalf of deceased owners using probate or an affidavit of heirship. Our team will guide you through the documentation process.
