When a former owner has died
Estate and probate property reviews
A possible foreclosure surplus matter involving a deceased owner may require proof of who has authority to act.
Start with basic information
You may request an initial review using the property address, state, county, approximate sale date, and your relationship to the former owner.
Documents may be needed later
Depending on the case, the possible fund holder may ask for estate, probate, trust, small-estate, or other authority documents. Do not upload those documents through the public form.
Legal questions stay with attorneys
Claim My Equity does not determine legal heirs, interpret wills, or represent an estate in court. Those issues may require a licensed attorney.
No guarantee: An initial review does not establish that funds exist, that an estate or heir is eligible, or that services are available.
