Is GA Asset Recovery Advocates Legit? How to Verify Us

If you got a letter or call from us about money from a Georgia tax sale or foreclosure, it's smart to check before you trust anyone, including us. Here's how to verify the money and our company yourself, without taking our word for it.

1. Check the money yourself first

You never need us to find out whether funds exist. You can check for free:

• Tax sale excess funds: look at the excess funds list on the county tax commissioner's website (or the sheriff's, in counties such as Fulton), or call that office. Examples: Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Chatham.
• Foreclosure surplus: contact the law firm named on the foreclosure notice or in the sale advertisement and ask whether there was a surplus.
• Money already sent to the state: search Georgia's unclaimed property at gaclaims.unclaimedproperty.com.

Our Georgia surplus funds guides explain each process step by step, including how to file the claim yourself.

2. Check that we're a real company

GA Asset Recovery Advocates, LLC is a Georgia limited liability company, control number 24008957. To look us up, open the Georgia Secretary of State's business search, choose "Control Number," and enter 24008957. You can also search by name for "GA Asset Recovery Advocates."

Our team is based in Roswell, Georgia. You can read about who we are, including our backgrounds in real estate, foreclosures, probate and public records.

3. What we will never do

• ask you for an upfront fee, or for money to "release" funds
• ask for your bank account or card numbers before you've signed a written agreement
• pressure you to sign the same day
• pretend to be a county, court or government office
• tell you that you can't file the claim yourself; you can

If anyone using our name does any of these, please call us at (404) 999-3532.

4. How our fee works

Our fee is contingency only. There is no upfront cost. The fee is a percentage of what is recovered, it's agreed with you in writing before any work starts, and if nothing is recovered you owe us nothing. You're never obligated to use us, and you can take as long as you need to read the agreement and ask questions, or to have someone you trust read it.
