For example, if you had a loan for $300,000 and your home sold for $500,000 in a foreclosure sale, then a surplus of $200,000 would be remaining, and you could claim that money. That also means that if your house was sold for less than what you still owed to the lender, there will not be any surplus funds for you to claim. For example, if your loan was for $500,000 and the home sold for $300,000, there would be nothing remaining to claim after the foreclosure sale. There are two ways for you to claim surplus funds from a foreclosure. One way is to pursue it yourself and the other way is to go through the process with the help of an attorney. Method #1 To claim your surplus funds by yourself, you will need to follow these three steps: ➡️ Step 1 is to provide proof of prior ownership. This is done by proving that you are on the title, which can be done by doing a title search. ➡️ Step 2 is to provide verification of funds. You can do this by looking at the foreclosure records and subtracting the loans or liens paid off at the time of the foreclosure sale. ➡️ Step 3 is to contact the trustee. Once you have contacted your trustee, you need to submit a claim form to the trustee and possibly to the court. One thing to note is that if the surplus funds remain unclaimed after 2-3 months, the funds are typically deposited into the court. Once you have completed these 3 steps, you will be going through the process of hearings & motions with the court and claiming your funds. You will receive the funds once you submit a successful claim and the court deems that you are the rightful claimant Method #2 Another option to claim surplus funds is with the help of a surplus funds attorney. Going through the process with an attorney is very helpful because they will guide you through the process and make sure that everything is done correctly.
