What Are Surplus Funds?

When a property is sold at foreclosure or tax sale for more than the debt owed, the excess money (surplus funds) belongs to the former owner or their heirs. But there's a deadline to claim them.

Time Is Running Out

Most states have strict deadlines. After that, your funds go to the state permanently. Don't lose what's rightfully yours.
