In West Palm Beach, the process for claiming foreclosure surplus funds is consistent with the rest of Florida. Claims are filed through the Palm Beach County Circuit Court, and the same laws apply:
- The homeowner of record at the time of the foreclosure is typically entitled to the funds
- Claims must be filed within a certain period
- The court must approve all disbursements
If the homeowner has passed away, heirs may be eligible, but they’ll need to go through probate or file additional paperwork.
