When a foreclosed property sells for more than what’s owed, that leftover money is called excess proceeds — and under Florida law, it belongs to the former homeowner or their heirs.
“These funds are sitting in court registries across the state, unclaimed by the people who need them most,” said a real estate legal analyst.
If you’ve experienced foreclosure in the past five years, it’s worth checking whether you have equity still recoverable.
