Stewardship, not just recovery
A tax sale or foreclosure is often treated as the end of the story. In many cases, it is not. Funds can remain after a property is sold to satisfy a debt, and those funds belong to the former owner, their heirs, or their estate — not to the county or the lender.
Homeowner Stewardship Partners exists to research these situations carefully, verify what is factually supportable, and help rightful claimants understand and pursue what may remain. We view this work as a form of stewardship: protecting value that could otherwise go unclaimed.
Our approach
- Careful, record-based research before any outreach.
- Plain-language explanations of the process and fees.
- Coordination with independent counsel when legal services are needed.
- No upfront service fee or retainer for recovery services.
Our recovery services
HSP currently focuses on two flagship recovery services in Georgia.
Tax Sale Excess Funds
When a property is sold at a Georgia tax sale for more than the taxes, fees, and costs owed, the remaining amount — the excess funds — may be payable to the former owner or other parties with a legal interest in the property.
Learn about Tax Sale Excess Funds →Mortgage Foreclosure Surplus
When a foreclosed property sells for more than what was owed on the mortgage, the surplus proceeds may be owed to the former homeowner rather than retained by the lender or trustee.

If you were contacted by HSP, you can independently confirm the outreach and the reference details provided to you before sharing any personal information.
Verify Our Outreach →Verification-led outreach
HSP identifies potential claimants through public record research before making contact. Because these matters can attract scams, we encourage every person we contact to verify our outreach independently before providing any personal or financial information.
We will never ask for upfront payment to begin a recovery review.

Families, estates & heirs
