Identify the sale and the jurisdiction
Keep tax sales, mortgage foreclosures, and state-held unclaimed-property matters separate in your records. Select the state and county before reviewing the applicable legal guidance.
Resources / Compliance
Recovery business compliance
Review the jurisdiction, the sale, and the role your business plays in a claim.
Review topics
A state-specific review
Keep three clocks separate
Record property-redemption timing, surplus-claim timing, and unclaimed-property-claim timing separately. A property-redemption period is not a surplus deadline.
Review representation and assignments
Review the state's facts for representative, assignee, and court-order requirements before proceeding. Do not carry one state's requirements into another state's matter.
Review fee provisions separately
Check the applicable state guidance for recovery-assistance fee provisions. A fee provision and a claim deadline answer different questions.
