Cape Coral, FL – April 2025
Homeowners in Florida don’t always need a lawyer to claim surplus funds left over from a foreclosure sale — but they do need to follow a specific legal process. Claim forms, ID verification, and supporting documents must be filed with the court that handled the foreclosure.
“DIY is possible, but one wrong step can result in denial or delays,” said surplus recovery specialist April Nguyen. “That’s why many work with trusted professionals who only get paid if the funds are recovered.”
Free templates and filing instructions are now available on public information sites and foreclosure assistance portals.
