Overview:
After a foreclosure sale, any excess proceeds remaining after payment of the foreclosing lender and other lienholders are held for the benefit of the former property owner or other parties with a legal interest at the time of the sale. In trustee sales, funds are typically held by the county treasurer, while judicial foreclosure surpluses are handled through the court. Claimants must file a formal application or petition and may be required to provide notice to other interested parties. Funds can be held for several years before being transferred to the state’s unclaimed property division if not claimed.
