Florida Homeowners Urged to Check for Unclaimed Surplus Funds After Auction Sales

In Florida, surplus funds from foreclosure sales are held by the court if a property sells for more than what was owed.

Recent reports show millions in unclaimed funds are sitting in county court registries, waiting to be distributed. The state is now encouraging residents to verify if they are owed money.
