Our Story
We are an asset recovery consulting firm specializing in helping former property owners reclaim surplus funds held in municipal trust accounts following tax sales. We have been assisting clients for a number of years and find satisfaction in returning lost funds to their rightful owners.
When a property is sold by a municipality to recover unpaid taxes, any excess proceeds are often retained in trust under the former owner’s name and remain unclaimed due to complex processes, lack of awareness, or administrative barriers.
Mountain assists eligible individuals, estates, and heirs by identifying these funds, navigating municipal and statutory requirements, and managing the documentation and claim process to ensure rightful monies are recovered efficiently and compliantly.
We operate on a contingency-based model, aligning our success with our clients’ outcomes while providing transparency, professionalism, and respect throughout the recovery process. We look forward to assisting you!

Our Approach
Mountain Asset Recovery was founded to solve a quiet but widespread problem: money that rightfully belongs to former property owners often remains unclaimed after municipal tax sales, sitting in trust accounts simply because people don’t know it exists or don’t know how to recover it. Behind Alpha Recovery is a team with experience in real estate, municipal processes, and asset recovery, who recognized that these funds are not lost — they are just buried under paperwork, timelines, and bureaucracy. Mountain Recovery exists to bridge that gap with clarity, professionalism, and persistence.
What we do is straight forward but highly specialized. We identify surplus funds held by municipalities following tax sales, verify eligibility, and manage the full recovery process on behalf of former owners, estates, and heirs. From document preparation to municipal coordination, we handle each claim carefully and compliantly, removing the administrative burden from our clients. Our contingency-based model ensures there are no upfront costs — we succeed only when our clients recover what they are legally entitled to.
What sets Mountain Asset Recovery apart is our approach. We operate with transparency, respect, and a strong ethical standard, understanding that these situations often involve financial stress, estates, or complex personal circumstances. We focus on education as much as recovery, ensuring clients understand the process, their rights, and each step along the way.
At Mountain Asset Recovery, we believe reclaiming what is owed should be simple, dignified, and handled by professionals who put integrity first.
