Probate and Foreclosure Collide: Why Surplus Funds Are Delayed in Estate Cases

When a foreclosed property belongs to a deceased individual, surplus funds become part of the estate. But without a properly opened probate, the court often won’t release the money. The result? Funds sit for months—or years—while families struggle to navigate legal procedures.

This press release explains why probate is essential for surplus recovery, shares tips for filing in a timely manner, and urges courts to improve coordination between foreclosure and probate divisions.

As foreclosure filings rise in Palm Beach County, many homeowners and heirs remain unaware of their rights—and the potential for thousands of dollars in surplus funds following a court-ordered sale. With all foreclosure auctions now conducted online, The Foreclosure Focus urges affected families to understand the process and take action before time runs out.

Foreclosure sales in Palm Beach County are managed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller and are held online Monday through Thursday at 10:00 a.m., with proxy bidding beginning as soon as the case appears on the auction calendar. Although the Clerk’s office facilitates the sales under court order, it does not provide legal advice or property research assistance—leaving many vulnerable families in the dark about their options.

“Too often, homeowners lose not only their homes, but also thousands in equity because they don’t realize surplus funds may be owed to them,” says a spokesperson for The Foreclosure Focus. “Our mission is to educate and empower people to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs.”

Homeowners May Still Be Owed Money—Even After the Auction

Under Florida law, if a property sells for more than the total debt owed, the remaining balance—called surplus funds—belongs to the homeowner of record at the time of sale. In cases where the homeowner has passed away, heirs may file a claim with the court, though this may require probate filings or affidavits of heirship.

Claims must be filed promptly, as funds may revert to the State of Florida if left unclaimed. All disbursements must be approved by the court, and valid documentation is required to avoid delays or denials.

Public Auctions—But Private Responsibility

The Palm Beach Clerk explicitly states it does not guarantee clear title and that it is the purchaser’s responsibility to research properties prior to bidding. Administrative orders, including Policy 21-02, govern how sales are managed and canceled, and the issuance of Certificates of Title can experience delays due to processing volume.

Thousands of Florida families may be owed money after foreclosure, and The Foreclosure Focus is helping them find out. A growing number of homes are selling at auction for more than the mortgage balance, creating what’s called surplus funds — the leftover equity that should be returned to the previous homeowner or their heirs.

Unfortunately, many people don’t know these funds exist or how to claim them.

The Foreclosure Focus, a West Palm Beach-based advocacy platform, offers public resources to help homeowners:

  • Search court records for surplus funds
  • Learn who is eligible to file a claim
  • Understand probate and inheritance rules
  • Submit timely filings before funds are lost to the state

“Most people walk away from foreclosure thinking they’ve lost everything,” said a spokesperson for The Foreclosure Focus. “But the truth is, there may still be equity waiting for them — and we make sure they don’t miss it.”

The Foreclosure Focus has expanded its presence across over 50 business directories, including Google, Apple Maps, Superpages, YP, and more, to ensure residents across Florida can find reliable help quickly.
