Facing foreclosure can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to tackle it alone or expose yourself to financial risk. When a foreclosed property sells for more than the debt owed, the extra proceeds, known as surplus funds, are rightfully yours. Many homeowners aren’t aware they may qualify to reclaim these funds even after their home is sold. At Guardian Legal Team, we excel at uncovering and recovering surplus proceeds, making sure any excess sale proceeds are returned to you instead of being held by banks or other parties.
Every day, we help homeowners, heirs, and financially distressed individuals across California navigate some of the most complex and stressful legal situations. Whether your home is in foreclosure, you’ve been served with an eviction notice, or you’re trying to recover funds after a trustee sale, we provide aggressive legal representation and personalized solutions.
We don’t just delay the inevitable—we fight for your rights under California law.
