Maureen Tillberg
Mortgage & Tax Lien Foreclosure Specialist
Maureen Tillberg founded North Star Overages Recovery to help former property owners and families understand what happens to surplus funds after a foreclosure sale. She researches public foreclosure and tax-sale records, helps identify potential claims, and guides clients through the documentation and recovery process.
Understanding Foreclosure Surplus Funds
When a property is foreclosed, it may sell for more than what is owed on the mortgage, taxes, and fees. After valid debts, liens, taxes, and allowable costs are paid, remaining surplus funds may be payable to the former property owner or other eligible claimants, depending on state law and lien priority.
Unfortunately:
- ◆Banks and counties rarely notify former owners
- ◆Deadlines and legal requirements can cause funds to be lost
- ◆The process is confusing, technical, and easy to miss
Every year, millions of dollars in surplus proceeds go unclaimed. Families walk away with nothing, not knowing they’re legally entitled to the leftover money from a tax or foreclosure sale. We’re here to change that.
Mortgage Foreclosure Surplus Recovery
When a mortgage foreclosure sale results in excess funds, the former property owner is legally entitled to the surplus.
We help by:
- ◆Researching foreclosure sale results
- ◆Determining whether surplus funds exist
- ◆Preparing and submitting the required claims
- ◆Following up until funds are released
Many former owners never realize money is owed to them. We make sure it doesn’t go unclaimed.
Tax Lien & Tax Deed Surplus Recovery
Tax lien and tax deed foreclosures often generate significant surplus funds, but the rules vary by county and state.
NorthStar Overages assists with:
- ◆Identifying tax foreclosure surplus funds
- ◆Navigating county-specific claim procedures
- ◆Handling ownership, heir, and estate issues
- ◆Managing court filings when required
These cases can be complex — experience matters.

Why Did Northstar Contact Me?
If You Received a Letter, Call, or Email From North Star, Here's Why.
North Star researches publicly available foreclosure, court, tax-sale, and county records to identify properties where surplus funds may remain after a sale.
If we contacted you, our research indicated that you—or someone connected to the former property owner—may have a potential interest in funds associated with a foreclosure or tax sale.
We Encourage You to Verify the Information
You should never feel pressured to take someone's word for it.
North Star can provide information identifying the property or public record connected with our research so that you can independently verify the information with the appropriate court, county, trustee, or government office.
