Money Earned. Money Lost. Money You May Still Be Owed.
After a foreclosure or tax sale, many people assume everything is over.
In reality, that’s not always true.
Unclaimed Funds Are Common
Foreclosure often happens during a period of financial stress. The homeowner is left feeling defeated, embarrassed, and exhausted, but in some cases, not everything is lost. Let’s clear up the confusion.
Foreclosed homes undergo an auction in attempt to pay the debt or lien that is due. Sometimes, the house gets sold for more than what is owed. This creates extra funds called Surplus Funds or Excess Proceeds.
Legally, the bank and/or county can not take the excess proceeds. They are only allowed to collect what was owed. So, during this time, the excess proceeds belong to the former homeowner.
Unfortunately, former homeowners aren’t made aware of these proceeds. So the money just sits there waiting to be claimed. The owner only has a certain amount of time to claim these funds. The time window varies by county, but more times than not, the money will end up getting permanently forfeited to the government because the homeowner never started the claim process.
The owner just missed out on potentially thousands, if not, hundred of thousands of dollars due to lack of acknowledgement. It’s not their fault, they were never made aware!

In many situations, the right to receive excess proceeds can be treated as part of the bankruptcy estate, which may mean the bankruptcy trustee and/or the bankruptcy court must approve how the funds are released.
