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.
TX fee rules
In Texas, a non-attorney may not charge a fee to recover excess proceeds (Tax Code §34.04); an attorney is capped at the lesser of 25% or $1,000.
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.
