Jacksonville, FL – April 2025
Surplus funds from a foreclosure don’t vanish — but they can be lost if no one steps forward. In Florida, heirs of deceased homeowners may be entitled to the excess proceeds left after a foreclosure sale.
“Probate and foreclosure often intersect,” explains attorney Latoya Green. “Surplus funds can be claimed by heirs through a legal process, but many families never file because they don’t know they can.”
With Florida’s aging population and high foreclosure volume, professionals are urging heirs and estate representatives to explore whether funds may be waiting for them.
