100% Service Connected Disabled Veteran-Owned & Operated Small Business • U.S. Army Military Police Veteran • MBA-Led Florida Small Business
Our approach is simple: start with the public record, explain what we can and cannot determine, and help organize the administrative steps that fit the situation.
See If Funds May Be AvailableWas property connected to you or your family sold at a Florida tax deed sale?
If the winning bid exceeded the amounts required by the sale, surplus funds may remain.
Whether someone may be entitled to those funds can depend on the public record, ownership history, liens, notices, estate circumstances, and other facts.
VVR provides administrative assistance by reviewing available records, helping organize claim information and documentation, and following the applicable process.
We do not guarantee eligibility or recovery, and we do not replace legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.
Learn How Surplus Funds WorkA straightforward review for complicated situations
Every file is different.
The first step is understanding the tax deed sale, the people involved, the available documentation, and what the public record shows.
Former Owners
A former titleholder may have an interest in surplus proceeds after required amounts and higher-priority claims are addressed.
Heirs & Families
When a former owner has died, family relationships, probate status, and estate documentation may affect what happens next.
Estates
An estate or personal representative may need to establish authority and provide documentation appropriate to the circumstances.
Other Potential Claimants
Recorded interests, liens, judgments, and other claims can affect priority.
Some matters may require review by a licensed attorney or other professional.
