Mountain Asset Recovery Business Consultants
Reclaim Solutions:
Surplus funds often arise from foreclosure auctions or tax lien sales where the winning bid exceeds the outstanding mortgage, taxes, and fees. These funds are typically held by county clerks, trustees, or courts, but many go unclaimed due to lack of awareness or complex procedures. Our service specializes in identifying, claiming, and distributing these assets remotely, without requiring in-person visits. Whether you're a former homeowner, heir, or lienholder, we make the process seamless.

WHAT WE DO:
Contact
We reach out to potential claimants via certified mail, email, or phone with details about the surplus. We explain the opportunity, verify eligibility (e.g., proof of ownership), and offer our services. This step includes a free consultation to assess claim viability and estimate recovery amount. Our Team will owrk closely with you to get all the information needed to process the claim and reclaim your surplus assets.
Identify
We Identify Rightful Owners or Heirs. Once a surplus is confirmed, we perform skip tracing and genealogical research to find the original owner, heirs, or junior lienholders. Tools like public records searches, death certificates, probate filings, and databases (e.g., Ancestry.com or state vital records) help trace claimants. If the owner is deceased, we verify inheritance rights through wills or intestate succession laws.
Research
We Research and Locate Surplus Funds found in public records from counties and municipalities, including court dockets, foreclosure sale reports, trustee filings, and tax sale databases. Using online portals and subscription-based tools (e.g., county clerk websites, real estate databases like PropertyShark or LexisNexis), we identify recent sales with surplus amounts. This involves cross-referencing property addresses, sale dates, and bid amounts to confirm excess proceeds exist.
Clarify & Collect
If there are competing claims (e.g., from other lienholders), we negotiate or litigate remotely through e-filing and court portals. We monitor the case status online and address any court requests promptly. We will then Collect and Disperse the funds. Once approved, funds are disbursed by the court or trustee (often via check or wire). We deduct our fee and forward the remainder to the client securely. We provide a full accounting and close the case.
Logistics
Our Experts will file the Claim or Petition on your behalf. We prepare and submit the required forms to the holding entity (e.g., county clerk, court, or trustee). This may involve a "Petition to Turnover Surplus Funds," "Application for Excess Proceeds," or similar, depending on the state. We include supporting evidence like proof of entitlement, surplus calculation, and any required notices to other parties. If a hearing is needed, we represent via affidavit or virtual appearance.
Documentation
We secure an agreement and get all the documentation needed to make the claim. Upon the client's agreement, we send a contingency fee contract (ranging from 10-25% based on case complexity, such as statute of limitations or competing claims). We collect necessary documents from the client (e.g., ID, property deeds) and supplement with our research (e.g., affidavits, sale confirmations).
Our
Solutions
Strategy
At Mountain Asset Recovery, our strategy is built on precision, compliance, and results.
Millions of dollars in unclaimed assets move through state and federal systems every year—often unnoticed by the individuals and businesses entitled to them. Our role is to identify, verify, and legally recover those assets using a structured, multi-state approach.
Execution
Execution is where Mountain Asset Recovery delivers value. Once potential assets are identified, our team manages the entire recovery process from start to finish, removing complexity and administrative burden from our clients.
Data Advisory
At Mountain Asset Recovery, our Data Advisory practice is driven by accuracy, insight, and regulatory discipline.
Unclaimed asset data is fragmented across jurisdictions, agencies, and legacy systems—making it difficult to interpret without expertise. Our team analyzes, cross-references, and validates complex datasets to uncover hidden ownership links, reduce false positives, and ensure every recovery effort is supported by clean, compliant, and defensible data. This advisory layer strengthens outcomes, accelerates claims, and protects our clients at every stage of the recovery process.
