What does Civic Reclaim Partners do?

We identify and recover surplus funds that belong to individuals and businesses after foreclosures, tax sales, and bankruptcy proceedings. Our attorney-backed team handles the claim from research through payout, so you don’t have to navigate county courts, statutes, or deadlines alone.

You won’t always know — that’s the hard part. Most people never get notified. Start with our free eligibility check: share a few basic details and we’ll research public records for surplus claims tied to your name, a prior property, or a past case.

Completely. Surplus fund recovery is a recognized legal process governed by state statutes. Every claim we file is prepared by or under the supervision of licensed attorneys and follows that jurisdiction’s rules to the letter.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency basis — if we don’t recover funds for you, you don’t pay a thing. Our fee is a pre-agreed percentage, deducted only after funds are delivered to you.

It varies by jurisdiction. Some claims resolve in a matter of weeks; more complex cases can take several months. You’ll receive a realistic timeline during your eligibility review, and status updates throughout.

No. The entire process runs remotely — phone, email, and secure e-signature. We serve clients nationwide, and you can complete everything from home.

We research public records to identify individuals who may be entitled to surplus funds. If we contacted you, our research indicates you may have a claim.

Don’t worry. Our team has extensive experience locating and obtaining the necessary documentation from public records and court filings. In most cases, we can gather what’s needed without requiring anything from you.

We understand the skepticism — the surplus recovery industry has had its share of bad actors. That’s why we operate differently: attorney-backed filings, transparent contingency fees, no upfront costs, and a track record of $15M+ recovered. We’re also a division of Public Recovery Group LLC, a licensed and bonded firm.

Within 24 hours, a real person reviews your submission and begins researching public records. We’ll contact you with our findings and next steps. If we identify surplus funds, we’ll explain the process, answer your questions, and only proceed with your explicit authorization.
