Plain-language summary: By using this site or working with us, you agree to these terms. Surplus Fund Group LLC helps identify and recover surplus funds through a licensed attorney. You pay our 25% contingency fee only if the attorney successfully recovers funds on your behalf. You can cancel in writing at any time before signing the attorney agreement.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing surplusfundgroup.com or engaging Surplus Fund Group LLC ("Surplus Fund Group," "we," "us") for any service, you ("you," "the client") agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
2. Our Services
Surplus Fund Group LLC:
- Identifies potential surplus funds owed to former property owners using public court records.
- Provides research and claim preparation services.
- Connects you with a licensed attorney who files and handles your claim.
Surplus Fund Group LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Legal services are provided exclusively by the licensed attorney assigned to your case under a separate attorney-client relationship.
3. Fees
- Our fee is 25% of the gross surplus funds successfully recovered and distributed to you.
- You pay nothing upfront. If no funds are recovered, you owe nothing.
- The 25% covers attorney fees, court filing fees, service of process, research, and any other expenses we advance on your behalf.
- Before any funds are distributed, you receive a clear disbursement statement showing the gross amount recovered, our 25% fee, and your 75% net.
4. Handling of Recovered Funds
All recovered funds flow through a regulated attorney trust (escrow) account. Funds are never held by Surplus Fund Group LLC. The licensed attorney disburses the funds per the signed agreement.
5. Your Responsibilities
- Provide accurate information to help identify and pursue the claim.
- Promptly respond to requests from the attorney regarding documents or approvals.
- Notify us of any competing claims, existing attorney representation, or prior communications about the same surplus funds.
6. No Guarantee of Outcome
We make no guarantee that any claim will be successful. Results depend on court rulings, competing claims, lien priority, procedural requirements, and applicable state law. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
7. Cancellation and Termination
- You may cancel before signing the attorney agreement at any time, for any reason, at no cost.
- After the attorney agreement is signed, cancellation rights and any reasonable reimbursement of attorney costs incurred are governed by that agreement.
- We may decline or terminate service at our discretion if we believe a claim is not legally viable, if there is a conflict of interest, or if information provided to us is materially false.
8. Communications
By providing your contact information, you consent to be contacted by Surplus Fund Group LLC by phone, text (SMS), and email regarding your claim. Standard message and data rates may apply to texts. You can opt out of texts at any time by replying STOP.
