Claimant Resources
Georgia Excess Funds Educational Guides
Start by identifying the county, property, and tax-sale date. Ask the current custodian to confirm whether funds are still held and what records its claim process requires. A published listing alone does not establish entitlement.
Review ownership records and relevant recorded interests. Ownership history, liens, estate authority, and competing claims can affect a claim. Consult licensed counsel when legal advice or a disputed entitlement determination is needed.
Organize ownership and relevant estate records, then ask the custodian for its current filing requirements. Entitlement, availability, amount, and timing require independent verification; no recovery is guaranteed.
