New Jersey Surplus Funds Recovery

Your home sold at auction. The extra money is still yours.

When a foreclosed New Jersey property sells for more than the debt owed, the leftover money — called surplus funds — legally belongs to the former homeowner, not the bank. Most people are never told. We find it, file the claim, and get it back to you.

Questions, answered straight

Frequently asked

What exactly are "surplus funds"?

When a home is sold at a foreclosure (sheriff's) sale, the money first pays off the mortgage, court costs, and any liens. If the property sells for more than all of that, the extra money left over is the surplus. Under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 2A:50-37), that surplus belongs to the former owner or their heirs — not the lender.

How do I know if I have any?

The only way to be sure is to look up your specific sale. That's exactly what we do for free — tell us the property and we'll research the sale price and the debt and tell you where you stand. No cost, no obligation.

What does it cost me?

Nothing up front, ever. We work on contingency: our fee is a percentage of the funds we actually recover for you, and it's spelled out in writing before we begin. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing.

Is this a scam? Are you the government?

No. Know The Process is a service of 1441 Capital LLC, a private company — we are not a government agency, a court, or a law firm, and we're not affiliated with any court or the State of New Jersey. We're a service that does the legwork of claiming your surplus for you so you don't have to navigate the court process alone. You can also pursue a claim yourself by contacting the court where the foreclosure happened; we're an option if you'd rather have it handled for you.

How long does it take?

It varies by county and by how contested the funds are — often a few months from filing to release. We keep you updated at each step so you're never left wondering.

I got a letter from someone else about my funds. What now?

You may be getting several letters — surplus is public record, so a lot of companies chase it. Read anything before you sign it, and compare. We're happy to review any offer with you in plain English, no pressure. What matters is that you get what's yours.
