ABOUT US

💡 Our Mission: Turning Loss into Hope. One Family at a Time.

RuckWood Recovery LLC is a 100% veteran-owned, family-run asset recovery company proudly based in St. Louis County, Missouri. Our mission is simple—but powerful:
To help everyday citizens, families, and businesses reclaim what is rightfully theirs in a time when every dollar counts for the average American.

Regarding tax foreclosure surplus, we believe that losing your home should never mean losing everything.

Yet today, over 90% of surplus funds from tax sale auctions go unclaimed by the rightful owners. Instead of being returned to those who need them most—families, heirs, and individuals facing hardship—those funds are often retained by local governments, with minimal transparency and virtually no effort made to notify or assist the people they belong to.

Some counties are better than others. But for most, the system is buried in red tape, outdated processes, and a stunning lack of outreach. When we discovered this, we couldn’t sit back and do nothing.
That discovery sparked the birth of RuckWood Recovery.

👩‍⚖️ Founded on Purpose. Built for the People.

As a St. Louis native, Army veteran, and mother, Tamara Rucker knows what it means to fight for what’s right—and for the people who feel like no one’s fighting for them. After months of independent research, advocacy, and relentless determination, she developed a proven process to help property owners, heirs, and families recover funds after a tax sale or from unclaimed property held by the state.

And she didn’t stop there.

Realizing how broken and inaccessible the current system is for the average citizen, RuckWood Recovery is actively working with local and state leaders to advocate for legislative reform—calling for greater transparency, fairness, and accountability in how surplus funds are managed and returned to the public.

🤝 More Than a Business. We’re Building a Movement.

RuckWood Recovery is more than a service—we are part of a growing community effort to restore hope, protect home equity, and bridge the gap between local government and the people it’s supposed to serve. We treat every client with respect, compassion, and dignity, because we’re not outsiders—we’re your neighbors.

And when a neighbor knocks on our door, confused and overwhelmed after losing their home, we don’t turn away.
We take action.

🌟 This Is More Than a Mission. It’s a Movement for Change.

At RuckWood Recovery, we don’t just help people file claims—we help them reclaim hope, justice, and financial relief at a time they need it most. We're building stronger families, stronger communities, and working toward a system where what’s right doesn’t have to be fought for—it’s automatic.

Because no one should have to navigate this process alone.
Not in our city. Not in our country.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work we do. Whether it's recovering surplus funds after a tax sale, filing unclaimed property claims, or conducting investigations to uncover the truth—our mission is the same: to fight for everyday people who deserve justice, clarity, and what's rightfully theirs.

Too often, the system is stacked against the homeowner, the heir, or the victim. Bureaucracy, red tape, and lack of transparency shouldn’t be the final blow after already losing so much.

When a neighbor knocked on my door after losing their home and didn’t know where to turn, I realized I had a responsibility to act—and I haven’t stopped since.

We’re not outsiders. We’re not predatory. We’re the people of St. Louis, and we’re taking care of our own.”
