A specialty recovery firm with decades of experience.
For more than twenty years, Avayda has recovered money our clients are rightfully owed — foreclosure surplus funds, distressed-property equity, and unclaimed estate assets. Handled entirely in-house. No recovery, no fee.
Recovering assets on behalf of clients across New York.
Claims researched and filed in every New York county.
Our fee comes only from a successful recovery — never upfront.
Three disciplines, one principle: money that already belongs to you, returned in full — on a pure contingency basis.
When a foreclosed property sells for more than the debt owed, the surplus belongs to the former owner. We locate it, file the claim, and recover it.
A distressed-property situation need not mean total loss. We recover the equity that remains rightfully yours.
We help heirs and administrators locate and recover assets belonging to an estate — including funds long thought lost.
A disciplined process built to maximize recovery — with nothing required from you upfront.
We assess your situation at no cost and give you a candid outlook on what may be recoverable.
Our team researches records, identifies eligible claims, and builds the strongest possible case.
We prepare every document, file with the court, and manage negotiations from start to finish.
Recovered funds go directly to you. Our fee comes only from a successful outcome.
Dozens of firms now chase surplus funds. Most are lead generators — they find a name on a list, mail a letter, and hand the case to someone else. Avayda is different. We are a specialty recovery firm with decades of experience, handling every stage in-house — from initial investigation through court filing and final distribution.
That distinction matters when claims are contested — by lienholders, co-owners, government agencies, or competing claimants. We litigate when necessary, negotiate settlements, and navigate the procedural complexity that defeats less experienced firms. It is why we recover funds others leave behind.
No recovery, no fee — our promise since day one. Our interests are fully aligned with yours. Once a matter is in our hands, we assume responsibility for every stage, from investigation through disbursement.
A dedicated team works each matter from intake through disbursement — investigators, case managers, and research analysts, all in-house.
Locate unclaimed funds, hidden equity, and estate assets using proprietary databases and public records.
Your single point of contact — coordinating every step and keeping you informed from intake through disbursement.
Deep-dive into property records, title chains, and financial documentation to build airtight recovery claims.

Nothing upfront — ever. We work entirely on a contingency basis, meaning we collect a fee only when we successfully recover money for you. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing. No retainers, no hourly fees, no hidden costs.
When a foreclosed property sells at auction for more than the total debt owed, the excess proceeds — called surplus funds — legally belong to the former property owner. Many people never learn this money exists or how to claim it. We investigate, file the claim, and recover the funds on your behalf.
Yes, in many cases. If your property sold for more than what was owed, there may be surplus funds held by the court or a government agency. We investigate whether funds are available and handle the entire process — at no cost unless we succeed.
Yes. We assist heirs, executors, and administrators in locating and recovering assets belonging to an estate — including unclaimed property, unreceived distributions, and funds escheated to government agencies. We handle the administrative and procedural process on your behalf.
