Foreclosure Focus Launches Florida Recovery Campaign: “Foreclosed Doesn’t Mean Forgotten”

West Palm Beach, FL – April 2025 – As foreclosure rates rise across Florida and beyond, thousands of families remain unaware they may still be owed surplus funds left behind after the auction of their home. The Foreclosure Focus, a public awareness and advocacy platform based in Palm Beach County, is tackling this issue head-on with a new campaign focused on education, empowerment, and equity recovery.

“Think foreclosure means losing everything? Think again. Surplus funds may still be available after auction.”

Whether you’re a former homeowner, surviving heir, or local attorney, The Foreclosure Focus is helping Florida residents claim what’s legally theirs — often tens of thousands of dollars in equity sitting in court-controlled accounts.

🔍 Common Questions Answered:

• What are surplus funds after foreclosure?
  These are leftover funds from a foreclosure sale when a property sells for more than what’s owed on the mortgage or judgment.
• Who is eligible to claim them?
  Former owners, heirs, or legal representatives — depending on timing, probate status, and proper documentation.
• What happens if no one claims the funds?
  Unclaimed surplus funds are eventually sent to the state and may be forfeited forever.
• Do I qualify to claim surplus funds?
• To qualify for surplus funds, you must have lost your property to foreclosure, and there must have been excess proceeds from the sale. Homeowners, heirs, or legal representatives can claim these funds.
• Can I claim surplus funds for a relative?
• Yes, you can claim surplus funds on behalf of a relative if you can prove your relationship, such as with a death certificate or will. Executors and heirs can also file claims.
• How much does it cost to claim surplus funds?
• The cost to claim surplus funds depends on whether you file on your own or use a recovery firm. Filing on your own generally costs a small fee (under $100), while recovery firms may charge 10-30% of the funds recovered.
• What if someone else already claimed the surplus funds?
• If someone else claimed the funds, you can verify the claim with the court. If you believe the claim was made in error or fraudulently, you can challenge it with legal support.

“Foreclosed doesn’t mean forgotten. Learn how to claim your surplus funds before it’s too late.”

The Foreclosure Focus has launched a public awareness initiative urging Florida homeowners, heirs, and families to check if they are entitled to unclaimed surplus funds following foreclosure auctions.

“Many people think foreclosure means total loss — but it can actually leave behind thousands of dollars in court-controlled surplus equity,” said a representative from The Foreclosure Focus.

Surplus funds are created when a foreclosed property sells for more than what was owed on the mortgage or judgment. In many cases, those extra proceeds sit unclaimed because former owners or their heirs don’t know to file.

The Foreclosure Focus provides:

• Educational content on surplus fund claims
• Help locating county court listings
• Legal guidance on probate and heir filings
• Media content that explains your rights clearly

“You may have lost the house — but not the equity. These funds don’t go to the bank. They’re yours to claim, if you act in time.”

With 24/7 availability and verified listings across Google, Apple Maps, Bing, and dozens of online directories, The Foreclosure Focus is reaching more families before legal deadlines expire.
