Found Money

SFF hopes to assist you in retrieving money that may be owed to you. Oftentimes when someone gives up ownership of a property, money due to them is never collected. There can be a few reasons why a previous owner is owed money. SFF has the expertise in finding out about uncollected money owed to previous property owners, and is able to help you claim your money.

The best part is that you are not charged unless your money is recovered successfully! If you have been contacted, the total estimated money owed to you is no less than $1,500.

Important: If the previous property owner is deceased, their heirs/estate may still be entitled to the uncollected money.
