Wisconsin Surplus Recovery Services

National Equity Agency helps Wisconsin homeowners and heirs recover surplus funds left after judicial foreclosure auctions—no upfront fees, just results.

Statewide Surplus Fund Recovery for Wisconsin Property Owners

If your home was sold at a sheriff’s sale in Wisconsin, you may be owed unclaimed surplus funds. These funds—also known as overage or excess proceeds—occur when the auction sale price exceeds the total debt owed on your mortgage or liens.

At NEA, we assist former property owners, heirs, and beneficiaries across the state—including in Milwaukee, Dane, Waukesha, and Brown Counties—to file surplus claims and recover their funds directly from the court or clerk.

What Are Surplus Funds After a Wisconsin Foreclosure?

Surplus funds are the leftover proceeds after a judicial foreclosure sale when a property sells for more than the judgment owed. These funds are typically held by the county sheriff’s office or the clerk of courts and may be claimed by the former property owner or eligible heirs.

For example, if a property was foreclosed with a final judgment of $180,000 but sold for $220,000 at auction, the $40,000 difference is surplus—and could belong to you.
