TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Listed on this website are excel spreadsheets on the overbids pertaining to the July 5, 2017, July 3, 2018, August 3, 2021, January 3, 2023 Mobile Home and August 1, 2023 tax sales. We do not have any unclaimed overbids from years prior to 2017, nor for years 2019, 2020 or 2022. These tax sales resulted in no excess funds or all funds have been claimed and disbursed.
As per Georgia law, all of the Defendants in FiFa and all security holders have been notified of these sales and overbids. As claims for excess funds are submitted by either the record titleholder or heir/heirs of the record title, I will send copies of the title searches that were done on the parcels that were sold along with the taxes that were due, the amount of the bids and the amount of the overbids to the County Attorney; he will instruct me as to the rightful owner of these funds. I will disburse the funds accordingly.
Please note that if you are NOT the record titleholder (the Defendant in FiFa) or an heir of the record titleholder then you will be required to submit proof of a valid assignment of the claim to excess funds. Such proof shall consist of a document that contains, at a minimum: (1) a statement that the record titleholder/heir is assigning all of its rights, title and interest in the excess funds to you; (2) an explanation of what the record titleholder/heir is receiving in exchange for assigning the claim to the excess funds; (3) language stating when the assignment expires, or that it does not expire; and (4) a statement that the record titleholder/heir has not assigned all or any portion of its claim to excess funds to another. Such documentation shall be signed by the record titleholder/heir, as assignor, and you, as assignee, shall be dated, shall be signed and sealed by a notary public, and shall be accompanied by copy of a valid driver's license, or other government-issued identification, of the record titleholder/heir.
There have been numerous asset recovery agencies that have requested this list. Therefore, there may arise numerous and conflicting claims for these funds. Please be aware that in the event of conflicting claims, those funds will to given to the Superior Court of Bryan County so a judge may decide who the appropriate owner may be. You will have to defend your or your client’s claim before the judge at your expense.
A claim form for individuals that are the record titleholder or his/her heirs or Asset Recovery Agencies requesting excess funds may be obtained by emailing pgunter@bryancountyga.gov. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call me at 912-653-3880.
Sincerely,
Pamela Gunter
