Recover Your Foreclosure Surplus & Home Equity
Helping homeowners and heirs reclaim money that is rightfully theirs.
There is no upfront cost.
We only get paid if funds are recovered.
What Is Foreclosure Surplus?
Foreclosure surplus, also called excess proceeds, is money left over after a foreclosure or tax sale once liens, fees, and debts are satisfied. In many cases, these funds belong to the former homeowner or their heirs. If unclaimed, the money can sit with the court for years.
Cherry Tree Equity helps ensure those funds do not go unnoticed.

Filing process
The filing process begins with gathering the necessary documents to prove the rightful claim to the surplus funds. We start by obtaining property records, foreclosure or tax sale documents, court filings, and any required identification or estate paperwork if the homeowner is deceased. Once all documents are verified, we prepare the claim package in accordance with state and county requirements. To ensure a smooth and successful filing, we work with experienced attorneys who specialize in surplus funds recovery. They handle the legal process, file the claim with the appropriate agencies, and represent the claimant when necessary—all at no upfront cost. Our fees are only collected after the funds are successfully recovered, ensuring that homeowners or their heirs can reclaim what’s rightfully theirs with no financial risk.
Payout Occurs
Once the claim is approved, the county or trustee processes the payment and issues the surplus funds directly to the rightful claimant or their legal representative. In cases where we’ve facilitated the filing through our attorney network, the funds are often disbursed into the attorney’s trust account for secure handling. From there, we ensure the claimant receives their rightful share, and only then do we collect our agreed-upon fee. This ensures a transparent and risk-free process, allowing individuals to recover their funds without any upfront costs.
