Process

What happens after you submit the property

Free first review

We use the address and county details to look for signs that a foreclosure sale may have generated surplus funds.

Documentation check

If records suggest possible funds, we explain what documents may be needed to prove identity and entitlement.

Next-step decision

You receive the likely path and written terms before deciding whether to have Lakeshore help with recovery.

A possible surplus is not the same as a guaranteed claim

The sale record, judgment, lien priority, claimant relationship, and current location of the funds all matter. Some funds remain connected to the court case. Others may eventually move to the Illinois State Treasurer's unclaimed property process.
