This is data, not a recovery service.

LienSuite compiles and organizes public county records. We are not a law firm and not a surplus recovery or "finder" service — we do not locate claimants for you, file claims, or take a percentage of anything. What you do with the list is up to you, and it has to comply with your state's rules.

GA fee rules

Recovery fees are capped by state law, and some states bar non-attorneys from charging at all — verify your state before quoting any fee.

The owner can always claim these funds for free.

Former owners — or their heirs — can file directly with the county at no cost; no recovery agent, attorney, or paid service is required. Many states require any recovery agreement to disclose this in writing.
