Greensboro & Winston Salem - Guilford & Forsyth County
Triad Surplus Funds Lawyer Serving Greensboro, High Point & Winston-Salem
Foreclosures in the Triad—particularly in Guilford County and Forsyth County—often result in substantial surplus funds due to rising property values in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Jamestown, and Kernersville. When surplus funds are created, the trustee frequently deposits them with the Clerk of Court, requiring the former owner to file a legal petition to recover them. In almost all cases, the process can not be completed without the help of an attorney.
Unfortunately, because foreclosure records in the Triad are easily accessible online, former property owners often become targets of surplus funds scams. This makes it even more important to work with a qualified surplus funds attorney who understands North Carolina’s laws and filing requirements.
As a Triad surplus funds lawyer, I help clients with:
Filing an accurate, complete Petition for Surplus Funds
Establishing ownership for deceased owners through North Carolina intestate succession
Handling complicated cases involving multiple heirs or unknown relatives
Reinstating dissolved LLCs to claim funds held by the Clerk
Responding to competing claims by creditors, HOAs, or private lenders
Preventing fraudulent assignments or predatory surplus funds “recovery services”
Many surplus funds cases in Greensboro and Winston-Salem become complex because:
The former owner died without a will
The heirs never opened an estate
The foreclosed property was a rental owned by an out-of-good-standing LLC
Family members disagree on who is entitled
The Trustee cannot determine proper ownership
If you believe surplus funds were generated from a foreclosure in Guilford or Forsyth County, speak with a Triad surplus funds attorney before signing anything. I can help you recover the funds you are legally owed—and protect you from scams or invalid claims.
