Ocala, FL – April 2025
If you’ve inherited a property in Florida that went through foreclosure — or if a deceased loved one lost a home — you may still be eligible to claim surplus funds. These funds can be recovered by heirs, but they must follow the correct legal steps.
“You don’t need to be on the deed to qualify as a rightful heir,” said probate attorney Sean Murphy. “You do need an affidavit of heirship, sometimes a probate case, and a valid claim.”
Florida’s probate and foreclosure systems can overlap, making it essential to get guidance before filing a claim.
