Testimonials
What our clients say
"I had no idea there was money waiting for me after my foreclosure. Polaris found it, filed everything, and kept me updated the entire time — with real patience for all my questions."
"Our HOA board thought this claim was a lost cause. The team at Polaris moved fast, explained everything clearly, and got it resolved faster than we expected."
"I thought everything ended at the auction. Turns out there was money left over, and Polaris made sure I actually got it — and treated me like a person, not a case number."
"What stood out was how clearly they explained the process. No pressure, no upfront cost, just a straightforward, compassionate path to what we were owed."
"After my mother passed, we found out there were funds tied to her old property. Polaris handled every bit of the paperwork and checked in on us, not just the case."
"Losing the house felt like the end. Getting that surplus check back gave us the down payment for our next home, and a little bit of hope back too."
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We know this can feel unfamiliar, even a little unbelievable at first. Here are honest answers to what people ask us most.
Why did I receive a letter or call from you?
If we reached out, it's because our research team found funds being held by a court or the state that likely belong to you or a family member — often the result of a foreclosure or tax sale where the property sold for more than what was owed. We contact people so this money doesn't go unclaimed forever.
Is there any upfront cost to work with Polaris?
No, never. We work entirely on contingency, covering all research and filing costs ourselves. We're only paid a percentage after your funds are recovered. If your claim isn't successful, you owe us nothing.
Can I file this claim myself?
You can, but we'd urge caution. The process involves strict court deadlines and specific filing requirements, and a small mistake can get a claim denied permanently. Our attorneys handle this every day so it's done right the first time.
This sounds too good to be true — is it a scam?
We understand that reaction completely, and most of our clients felt the same way at first. Surplus funds are a matter of public record, and we encourage you to look us up, read our testimonials, and ask us anything before deciding. Since we never ask for money upfront, there's no financial risk in simply finding out.
How long does the process usually take?
It varies by county, but most claims resolve within 60 to 120 days. We'll keep you updated at every step, so you're never left wondering what's happening with your case.
