How The Process Works
​
Helping Hands Asset Recovery researches various agencies across the country to locate funds owed to former homeowners.
​
1. We confirm with governments and agencies if there are funds held with their office.
2. Once we confirm available funds, we perform extensive research to locate the rightful owners or heirs.
3. When we contact you and you agree to allow us to assist you with claiming these funds, we will set up a time to discuss our findings, then you’ll sign several documents with a Notary who will return them back to our office.
4. Your claim will usually be processed in 2 - 6 months depending on your case and agency’s procedures.
5. Once your funds are recovered, your share will be distributed to you within 30 days
There are no upfront costs for you if you allow our company to help claim your funds. Our company will only get paid when we successfully complete your claim. Give us a call so we can help you on your journey to recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please call us with any questions you may have. We are always here to help.
What are Surplus or Excess Funds?
The excess money left over when your property went through the Foreclosure process due to unpaid Real Estate Taxes or mortgage.
How did you find these excess funds?
We obtain this information from the government agencies to assist people like you who have gone through a difficult time. The County sends out notification letters, but usually to the last known address on record which is the foreclosed property.
How did you find me?
By verifying your information through a Google search and comparing that info with government agencies. We work directly with the county and can assist you with recovering these funds.
Can I do this on my own?
Yes, but it can become frustrating when you don’t know the process. We have experience dealing with government agencies and know what is required to complete a claim.
Why should I choose your company?
At Helping Hands Asset Recovery, we pride ourselves in following the biblical philosophy “to be helpers one to another.” With this core value, you can rest assured that our company will go the extra mile and recover everything you are entitled to. When you work with us, there are no upfront fees. We only get paid if your claim submission is successful. We are here to serve you.
How long do I have to claim the surplus or excess funds?
The time depends solely on the County or State. This information will be confirmed prior to any signed agreements. Keep in mind if your funds remain unclaimed for too long, the government will attempt to keep the surplus. If left unclaimed after a few years of failed contact, these funds are turned over to the State.
What is the amount of my surplus funds?
Once you’ve signed our Fee Agreement, we will confirm the amount you will receive.
How long does the claim process take?
The process can take anywhere from 30 days up to as long as a year depending on your particular claim or circumstances.
Do I have to pay you to start the process?
No, there are no up front costs for you to retain our services. We will cover all up front costs associated with your claim until it is paid. If for whatever reason your claim is unsuccessful, you owe us nothing.
