Berkshire Law Group recovers foreclosure surplus funds and tax sale overage for homeowners, heirs, creditors, and recovery agents nationwide, and handles real estate and business matters across Indiana.
Headquartered in Indianapolis, Berkshire Law Group represents property owners, creditors, and recovery specialists pursuing funds held by government entities after foreclosure and tax sales.
We bridge the gap between county records and disbursed funds, providing the statutory knowledge and nationwide network required to navigate the excess proceeds process in any jurisdiction.
Practice Areas
Indiana-focused legal help recovering mortgage foreclosure surplus, tax sale surplus, and unclaimed property, and representing recovery agents who locate these funds.
Counsel for property owners, developers, contractors, investors, and landlords, from lease drafting to quiet title litigation.
Formation, contracts, general counsel, and registered agent services that protect your business interests from day one.
Certification, lobbying, and procurement counsel helping Indiana businesses compete for public contracts and advocate lawfully before government.
Our Surplus Funds Attorney Network connects claimants with vetted attorneys in jurisdictions across the United States, so a claim in another state does not stall for want of local counsel.
Foreclosure, tax sale, quiet title, and records work sit at the center of our practice, not on the edge of it. We read the chain of title before we advise on the money.
Recovery agents, investors, creditors, and contractors get counsel that understands their agreements, statutory fee limits, filing deadlines, and margins.
Who We Represent
People whose property sold at a sheriff's sale or county tax sale for more than was owed, and the heirs or estates that inherited the right to claim what is left over.
Asset recovery firms that need licensed counsel to file claims, review assignment and fee agreements, and stay inside each state's finder-fee and unauthorized-practice rules.
Tax sale purchasers, note buyers, junior mortgage holders, and judgment creditors whose priority, redemption rights, or tax deed depend on getting notice and procedure right.
Buyers and sellers, landlords, builders, and subcontractors handling purchase agreements, title defects, mechanic's liens, and disputes over work performed.
Companies forming entities, papering contracts, and using outside general counsel instead of carrying a full-time legal department.

News & Insights
When a foreclosed home sells for more than the debt, the leftover money belongs to the former owner or junior lienholders, not the lender.
Tax sale overage is the amount a tax sale bid exceeds the taxes owed. Claiming it takes proof of ownership, a petition, and notice to lienholders.
Every state sets its own window to claim excess proceeds. Miss it and the money escheats to the county or state treasury.
