Step-by-step claimant guidance

This page helps you organize facts, identify likely filing routes, and prepare documents and checklists. It does not recover funds for a percentage and does not guarantee outcomes.

  • You may be able to file directly through the county, court, trustee, or state agency.
  • For Kansas claims, guidance includes K.S.A. 79-2803 tax foreclosure surplus steps and unclaimed property routes.
  • Attorney review is recommended for heirs, probate, liens, bankruptcy, divorce, competing claimants, LLC/trust ownership, or assignments.
